Hi

Yes, you're right about find calling GetPoolStats, I write my message  
in too much haste.

But I think you are on the right track with your question about  
IO::Dirent; I reached this same conclusion just an hour or two ago.

My files system is XFS, which I failed to mention originally. I have  
just set IODirentOK=0 in Lib.pm and BackupPC_nightly is now actually  
doing some work.

Thanks,
Tony
