I've been working on it slowly for a couple weeks. It should be in cvs 
within another week or two.

In the meantime, this is what I do to remove old incremental files. This 
will remove files older than 14 days:

find /var/bobsdata/incremental/<server>/<share>/ -ctime +14 -ctime -999 
-exec /bin/rm -v {} ';'

Cheers,
