I think you need to run the backup before these directories are created.
run the command "php /var/www/html/bobs/cron/backup.php" as root user.
and move backup.php into /etc/cron.daily/ to have it run every night
The install script is not installing a file which is needed.
Edit the file <bobs-sources>/cron/check_loop and change the line:
CMDLOOP_DIR=3D/mnt/tera1/backup/process
to=20
CMDLOOP_DIR=3D/usr/local/share/bobsdata/current/process
(That path should contain a file called "cmdloop")
Copy the "check_loop" file into into
"/usr/local/share/bobsdata/current/process/"
To start the script, insert this line into the file "/etc/crontab"
Now You'll need to make some changes to your /etc/crontab file.
0-59/5 * * * * root /usr/local/share/bobsdata/current/process/check_loop
&
(Please beware of line breaks in the email. The "&" character is the
last part of the line)
now reload the cron configuration.
On Redhat run
"/etc/init.d/crond reload"
This will update the configuration of cron and start the cmdloop script
within 5 minutes.
If you ran backup.php it will start a backup as soon as cmdloop starts.
I hope this helps.

I'll look into making most of this happen on installation.
