asterisk users - Jan 2005 - BackupPc_nightly crashing with Perl chdir errors

Hi all.  I have been reading the list archives and can't seem to find
anything that relates to these errors.

BackupPC_nightly fails to delete any files, and reports the pool and cpool
at zero size.  The nightly run as currently configured should be deleting
a ton of files (only one hardlink) but it deletes nothing, and so the
drive is now 100% and staying there.  I have adjusted the conf files on
the backupjobs so a majority of the pool would be deleted in a proper
nightly run, but as listed below nothing is removed.

Reports in the log are as follows:

2005-01-25 01:30:00 Running 4 BackupPC_nightly jobs from 0..15 (out of 0..15)

When I run a BackupPC_nightly when su'd as the backuppc user similar
results as follows:

backuppc root $ /usr/local/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_nightly 0 255

Use of uninitialized value in chdir at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/File/Find.pm

I have been using backuppc for months with reliable service, and we love
the package.  One of my Jr. Admins got a little trigger happy with gentoo
portage and upgraded everything on a backuppc server that had been working
pretty well.  We also had an unrelated issue that caused the backup size
to dramatically increase and fill the drives, so I am not sure which is to
blame here.

I have partimaged images of the partition that holds the pool data, and a
few versions of the rsyncd root of the partition with the linux install on
it, but I would rather figure out how to solve this problem than roll back
time on the server and lose the backup data we have on the drives now.

I cannot seem to find anything in the docs or the lists to point to any
solution, any input would be greatly appreciated.
