Problem with hdup

Hi!

Thanks for a great product! I haven't really gotten it to work as I like,
but it appears to be just what I want. I thought I would join the mailing
list, but when I click the link (subscription info) on your website, I get a
request for HTTP authorization. So, I e-mailed you directly instead.

Now, on to the problems I'm having.

I've created a user called backup that will do the backups for me. My
hdup.conf looks like this:

------------------------------
[global]
archive dir = /usr/backup
date spec = iso
user = backup
compression = gzip
exclude = lost+found, /proc, /dev
overwrite = yes
force = no

[apache]
dir = /usr/local/apache
exclude = /usr/local/apache/bin, /usr/local/apache/libexec

[mysql]
dir = /var/lib/mysql
------------------------------

All goes well when I do the first monthly backup, but I run into problems
when I want to do weekly and daily backups after that. Here's some output:

------------------------------
backup ~ $ /usr/local/sbin/hdup -c ~/hdup.conf monthly apache
/usr/local/sbin/hdup: apache: STARTING BACKUP.
/bin/tar: Removing leading `/' from member names

/usr/local/sbin/hdup: WARNING: could not find previous backup list!
/usr/local/sbin/hdup: WARNING: No lockfile found!

backup ~ $
------------------------------

I don't know what list it is referring to, but there are a few files in the
backups etc directory:

------------------------------
backup ~ $ ls -Al apache/etc/
total 20
-rw-r--r--    1 backup   users         167 Sep  5 15:41 excludelist
-rw-r--r--    1 backup   users          18 Sep  5 15:41 filelist
-rw-r--r--    1 backup   users       11093 Sep  5 15:42 inclist.monthly
backup ~ $
------------------------------

Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
