That
#chown sepia:sepia --recursive /home/sepia/sitebackups/*

and that was the problem.. duh! rsnapshot runs as root, and I wanted
to be able to download backups without logging in via ssh as root....

ouch!

its working now...


here's du:
1.7G    /home/sepia/sitebackups/hourly.0/
4.9M    /home/sepia/sitebackups/hourly.1/
1.7G    /home/sepia/sitebackups/hourly.2/
1.7G    /home/sepia/sitebackups/hourly.3/
1.7G    /home/sepia/sitebackups/hourly.4/
1.7G    /home/sepia/sitebackups/hourly.5/

i will let rest of the backup correct itself...

Thanks a lot for your help!

Regards,
Kunjan
