I've managed to create a "-" file before -- it happens when a tool 
doesn't accept "-" as an alias for stdout.

You're right about the stat() that I sent. The proper info is:

#: ls -l -
-rw-r--r-- 1 moshe moshe 2305 Oct  6  2011 -

but I can't persuade stat to read it at all.

I can delete this file and will do so. Please note, however, that this 
is an *old* file and that I've managed to do backups in the past -- or 
at least I thought I had.

And the result is: I am able to back up until I see a *different* error. 
I will put that one on the list in a few minutes. Thanks for your help.
