What version of the backup software are we running on hodge?  I think
I may have found a bug, and I want to make sure we are running the
newest stuff before querying info-afs@transarc.  I did the backup
tonight, and did some investigation on the failed volumes:

admin.backup                      536871763 BK          5 K  On-line
project.backup                    536871737 BK         36 K  On-line
project.sipbsrc.backup            536870938 BK      96706 K  On-line
service.backup                    536871740 BK       9288 K  On-line
system.backup                     536871728 BK          4 K  On-line
system.xdm.backup                 536871730 BK         27 K  On-line
user.backup                       536871738 BK        169 K  On-line

When you do "dump" in backup, it prints the list of volumes it's going
to backup (look at /afs/sipb/project/exadump/backup.910325).
Apparently, if the volume is listed twice, it fails one of the times.
The volumes above, and only those, are listed twice.  They succeeded
once, and failed once.  So, the good news is that the volumes have
been backed up, so that's not anything to worry about.

So, does anybody know why backup is getting confused?
