Problem Solved!

I'm running a frugal install with a persistant /home and /opt

I had ' .mydsl_dir ' in my .filetool.lst

This make me realize that you don't have to give a full path to a file in .filetool.lst or a file in .xfiletool.lst

Thanx to all for your suggestions.

Specifically, a full path is required for .filetool.lst, but not for .xfiletool.lst.
It's possible that having a non-existent file in .filetool.lst (it should have been opt/.mydsl_dir) caused the backup to fail and left you using the previous one...but i'm just guessing again.

You're not going to believe this but.... the problem is back! While upgrading to 1.5 and attempting to keep my customized environment (settings, wallpaper, custom icons placed a certain way, etc). For one reason or another, I had to revert to older backup.tar.gz 's (to get my icons and stuff back). well, now I'm back at square one. Multiple instances

Here are some of my files. Keep in mind this is a frugal install with persistent /home/dsl and /opt

Here are the contents of my .filetool.lst :

opt/ppp
opt/bootlocal.sh
opt/powerdown.sh
opt/.dslrc
home/dsl/
opt/.firefox_plugins
usr/share/edna
opt/myndis.sh
var/spool/lpd

Here are the contents of my .xfiletool.lst :

Cache
XUL.mfasl
home/dsl/mnt
home/dsl/.xtdesktop
home/dsl/.xtdeskrc
home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu
opt/.mydsl_dir
home/dsl/.fluxbox/init
home/dsl/.Xdefaults
.start_synaptic
opt/mp3s
Breze_net
Documents
Downloads
Media
Music
Pics
oouser
.ssh

Also I'm getting multiple wmnet when I connect through my dialup (but it goes away when I hangup)
