why is the remote backup still writing it's indexes locally?

Mr. Gieben, 
   First of all, this program rocks - thanks for
writing it. It's really ideal for my needs - not too
complex, and still flexible. I was starting to read
about Amanda and it was overkill for what I needed.
    
   I'm wondering about one thing, though. I'm doing
remote backups from a couple of servers to a central
one with cron jobs  - "monthly @[email protected]", etc.. 
   I noticed, though, that the file indexes
(inclist.monthly), etc., are being written locally to
the machine though, and not to to the remote host
along with the data.  To get around that, I made a
little script to scp them over after the backup with
the "postrun" directive.  Is there something I'm doing
wrong here?
 

Here's a copy of my hdup.conf. The indexes are being
written to /vol/backups on the local machine.


Thanks very much!
Tom Klopf
