I was thinking it was "exitcheck.sh shutdown" that was called by a power button event?

You are correct!

Followed the instructions in first post.

First issue: After making a backup with filetool.app a message window (named "Unnamed") pops up informing:
Invalide device: sdb2
However backup have been made to sdb2 and there don't seem to be any problems with the backup.tar.gz as far as I can see. So I don't understand this errormessage. This is an issue I didn't have in 4.4.6

Second issue: A bit more problematic. The newly (re)introduced mount.app just won't mount or umount any device or partition at all. It just launches a dialoge box containing messages like "Unable to mount the device at this time.." and soforth...
I can easily mount and umount the same devices with 'emelfm as root user'. I also had no problem with the previous mount tool...

You should not have to mount or umount as root user. Therein points to your issue. Perhaps you have an extension that overwrites /bin/mount.

Both mount.app and cli $ was tested base norestore and also with gnu-utils.dsl. There is no /bin/mount in gnu-utils.dsl. Having such would explain your issue. If you have /bin/mount in your gnu-utils.dsl then you need to refresh gnu-utils.dsl gnu-utils was updatet (mount) removed when mount command was updated to allow user mount/umount many versions ago.

Any error during backup will cause a popup message, including trying to backup an non-existant file. You might want check the contents of /tmp/backup_status before you actually shutdown.

On errors, does it suggest that to the user?  i.e. "There were errors.  Please check /tmp/backup_status"

And/or perhaps having a button to launch something to view it might be convenient.
