DSL ver. 9.1
filetool.lst is standard, there`s no backup.tar.gz file to change it.
Want to add: .fluxbox/backgrounds, .fluxbox/init,
    & Firefox: pref., history, & bookmarks to it.

Still I am not getting what I asked for...
If you have a wrong path of a file you are trying to backup, you will have problems.
Need to see your filetool.lst. If you add a non-existent file to the filetool.lst you will have problems. Need to see your filetool.lst.

You should not have to run the script from the CLI. I just verifed that indeed everything works fine from a v0.9.1
Using Usb Install To Pendrive Then using the control panel backup,
You are prompted to enter the Device: sda1 Backup proceeds normally. Rebooting provides the autorestore feature.

Another possible area is how did you install DSL to the pendrive?
There are so many "windows" install methods that could possibly be a problem. If the wrong boot.img file in used, your sda1 may not really be writeable. Try this:
Using the mount app utility, select the sda1 device. Then open up a  shell and type the following:

mount

The output for the device sda1 should contain both these lines:
/dev/sda1 on /cdrom type vfat (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=000,uid=1001,gid=500)

All of this is assuming that you have indeed used standard DSL procedures.

I mounted sda1 & ran XTerminal, report as follows:

dsl@box:~$ mount
/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /cdrom type vfat (rw)
/dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro)
/ramdisk on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,size=405504k)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0666)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/hda1 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=000,uid=1001,gid=500)
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=000,uid=1001,gid=500)
dsl@box:~$

As you can see both the lines are present.
The line:  "/proc/bus/usb..." makes me wonder, but maybe it`s normal.
The only line I put in filetool.lst is:   home/dsl/.fluxbox/init
 to save the set background command.
I want to add Firefox stuff, but haven`t even got that far yet.
On shutdown there`s an error:  can`t umount /KNOPPIX, not good!
I think it`s my install method, but it`s worked well until now...
I`ll burn an iso saturday so I can do a normal install.
Is there any extra files I`ll need to run the USB install on the menu?
I recall a post about downloading a file but don`t know if it`s for v9.1
I appreciate the help, I hope the fault isn`t mine, I really like DSL!

roberts;      burned iso & booted, couldn`t mount drives errors.
DSL started, wouldn`t install to USB, same as another post,
  just a flash & it makes an empty frugal_usb.tar.gz.
Downloaded frugal_usb.tar.gz, tried again & get the popup
  asking (y), nothing written to USB.
Checked & DSL won`t mount sda1, & same can`t umount
  /KNOPPIX error on shutdown as the previous USB install.

Sounds like you have a bad download, or bad burn, or even a flaky cdrom while trying to read, as the errors that you report are certainly not normal. I assumed you checked the md5sum file to be sure you have a good download. It seems to me your goal is run DSL from a pendrive. Also from your other post requesting a zip file of DSL for pendrives and that you are a Windows user. If you do not want to make a cdrom of DSL, then try the zip file approach. See my answer to your other post here.
