OK its getting a bit weird now...

Permission on /tmp is as follows:

drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root         3072 Mar 22 11:00 tmp

But I still get the same 'permission denied' failure when attempting to run 
a simple backup from the Qube web admin interface. 

This from /var/log/backup.log:

Sat Mar 22 10:42:44 2003 2705: mkdir(/tmp/fileLOVvyx/20030322104243): 
Permission denied
Sat Mar 22 10:42:44 2003 2705: Ending failed procedure at 1048329764

The HDD in this Qube is very empty:

System Files - Var Partition (/var) 
used  54  
free   431  
total   485  
percent   11% 
 
 
 User and Group Files - Home Partition (/home) 
used  299  
free  15962  
total  16261  
percent   1% 
 
 
 System Files - Root Partition (/) 
used  552  
free  854  
total  1405  
percent   39% 
 
 
 All Partitions 
used  905  
free  17247  
total  18151  
percent   4% 
 
Any further suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks,

Richard
