I just tried to backup my file and got an error about failure to

folder two levels below my home directory, and doesn't need
mounting, and I did not check the box about needing mounting, and
backup has worked fine for years. This is the second time this
has happened, and simply restarting KMM fixed the problem both
times. I have not otherwise noticed anything strange about files
or partitions or mounts. If it happens again, are there any
specific things I can check to try and figure out the cause?

That is strange. In case the mount option is unchecked, a simple
'echo' replaces the mount command. This is just so that the next
step in the process can be triggered by the successful finish of a
command (mount or echo in this case). The scenario you describe
would happen, when the 'echo' command returns an exit code other
than 0 (why should it) or the KProcess exitStatus differs from
QProcess::NormalExit. I can't image why either of the two should
happen.

I think that gave me the answer, but I won't have time to test until
this evening. For years, I only ran KMM started from the start menu
or an icon. Recently, however, I've left those methods to start the
distro installed version, and have a git version installed in a
different location which I have to start with a script, from command
line. I suspect if I close that console, then the echo will fail
because KMMs stdout has gone away.

That would be fine. In that case, we need to use a different command
or mechanism to solve the problem.
I can confirm this is the issue. I had never noticed before, but if
KMM is launched from command line, when you do a file/backup, it does
echo a newline to the console. If I put KMM in the background, it
behaves the same. However, if I then close the console from which I
launched it, trying to do a backup gives a popup "Error mounting
device."
Would the easiest change be to 'echo > /dev/null' ? You might also
just use the "true" command, but I don't know if that is present on all
OSs where KDE runs.
