Accepted by me, at least, no problem.

Hi:
This may be of little help to you, BUT:

I've been using flexbackup for several years and have never seen your
problem.  My setup is different, and accesses a remote machine via NFS
and my 10 MB network, so it is quite slow.  You seem to have 1 GB RAM and 2
GB Swap, and four processors (drool :-)).  The suggestion that I have is: 
try a setup for the local machine only and see if that works:- that will
separate the local/remote issues.  Possibly try refreshing software:  I
have had a very odd experience (SuSE8.2) totally unrelated to flexbackup,
which cause a system-lockup when deleting several hundred files (junk
emails).  That has gone away after a reload of the software.  Your problem
seems to be afio, which I also use and with which I have had no problems.

Sorry, best that I can suggest, good luck
