i spent a while trying to create a test case for this... but never succeeded. i'm thinking maybe #13476 lead to this situation somehow... i certainly haven't seen it since i fixed #13476 and manually editted my metadata... i'm going to close it out and if manage to reproduce it again i'll re-open.

This isn't much to go on... It's going to be hard to find this bug without some more information, or at least some good theories on why these files are being affected and not others.

i'm not sure yet how i set up this scenario, but i suspect it has something to do with hardlinks since the files involved were in my qmail queue. i run without the --no-hard-links option.

this has been in my backup logs for months apparently and i never paid close enough attention to notice it was the same files day after day.

then last weekend i moved /var to its own partition and no longer back it up to the same destination -- and the major problem that i'm reporting in this bug is that new the mirror_metadata file in the original destination has every one of these files as an orphan... i.e. none of the directories are listed in the metadata file, nor do the files exist on disk.

so the error is reoccuring every backup.
