I haven't seen that error before. Sounds like it's trying to remove a 
directory, but why it times out I don't know.

If this were my system I'd consider deleting the server definition from 
the bobs admin screen, removing /backup/bobsdata/incremental/main/ and 
/backup/bobsdata/current/main/, then starting fresh. Maybe the database 
files (.db) are out of sync with what's actually archived? I don't know.

If your backup is really huge, you can leave the files under the 
directory tree /backup/bobsdata/current/main/homedirs/  but remove the 
files in /backup/bobsdata/current/main/*. That way your first rsync 
won't have to do much work.

I have no idea if that will help though. The real problem may have 
something to do with the timeout error.
