Perhaps, I just forgot it was a known problem, but I worry that something else
is going on. This is a problem that I would/should have fixed at least with
a patch (there is no patch for this).
The only "other" thing that I can imagine is that your system crashed during a
backup, or that the SD crashed during a backup. Both of those could cause
this behavior, but it *really* should not happen if the SD crashes. The
problem is unavoidable if your system crashes during a backup.
If I were you I would want to understand why the catalog is out of sync with
the Volume. Excepting an interruption while writing a backup, it should not
happen.
