fbackup trying to back-up a file that doesn't exist

[ehspacl]

I ran a fbackup using cron last night and the log gave me this report.

fbackup(1004): session begins on Thu Feb 14 00:00:18 2002
fbackup(3203): volume 1 has been used 10 time(s)

These client files don't exist on the system.
The script is executed by root.
Has anyone an idea why it is looking to stat a file that doesn't exist.
Oracle 8i is installed.

These are probably just temporary connect files which fbackup picks up, but which have disappeared by the time it comes to actually write them.

I should add that this is my theory based on what happens on a non-HP box I have, but perhaps someone with more HP knowledge can either confirm or refute this. HTH.

At start fbackup builds a list of files to be saved. Then it starts saving them. At this moment a file can be exclusiv in use, or even deleted. This gives this 2 kind of msg:
* fbackup(1102): WARNING: unable to stat file /var/spool/sockets/pwgr/client3370
* fbackup(3005): WARNING: file number 50469 was NOT backed up
