Details:

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.
