Rsnapshot will only run hourly: msg#00055

sysutils.backup.rsnapshot.general

Subject: Rsnapshot will only run hourly

I manually try to run rsnapshot via:
rsnapshot hourly (this works)
rsnapshot monthly (doesn't work)
rsnapshot weekly (doesn't work)

When I say it doesn't work, it doesn't create a monthly.0 or weekly.0 dir.. and it doesn't even appear to try to run rsync to connect to the remote server in the logs

Here is my config.. Any ideas?:

#################################################
# rsnapshot.conf - rsnapshot configuration file #
#################################################
# #
# PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING RULES: #
# #
# This file requires tabs between elements #
# #
# Directories require a trailing slash: #
# right: /home/ #
# wrong: /home #

#################################################

#######################
# CONFIG FILE VERSION #
#######################

config_version 1.2

###########################
# SNAPSHOT ROOT DIRECTORY #
###########################

# All snapshots will be stored under this root directory.
#
snapshot_root /.snapshots/

# If no_create_root is enabled, rsnapshot will not automatically create the
# snapshot_root directory. This is particularly useful if you are backing
# up to removable media, such as a FireWire or USB drive.
#
#no_create_root 1

#################################
# EXTERNAL PROGRAM DEPENDENCIES #
#################################

# LINUX USERS: Be sure to uncomment "cmd_cp". This gives you extra features.
# EVERYONE ELSE: Leave "cmd_cp" commented out for compatibility.
#
# Note: Linux users with gnu cp/coreutils version > 5.3, should leave
# cmd_cp commented out, since cp fails to create destination directories
# with a trailing slash for versions 5.3 or later.
#
# See the README file or the man page for more details.
#
cmd_cp /bin/cp

# uncomment this to use the rm program instead of the built-in perl routine.
#
cmd_rm /bin/rm

# rsync must be enabled for anything to work. This is the only command that
# must be enabled.
#
cmd_rsync /usr/bin/rsync

# Uncomment this to enable remote ssh backups over rsync.
#
cmd_ssh /usr/bin/ssh

# Comment this out to disable syslog support.
#
cmd_logger /usr/bin/logger

# Uncomment this to specify the path to "du" for disk usage checks.
# If you have an older version of "du", you may also want to check the
# "du_args" parameter below.
#
cmd_du /usr/bin/du

#########################################
# BACKUP INTERVALS #
# Must be unique and in ascending order #
# i.e. hourly, daily, weekly, etc. #
#########################################

interval hourly 6
interval daily 7
interval weekly 4
interval monthly 3

############################################
# GLOBAL OPTIONS #
# All are optional, with sensible defaults #
############################################

# Verbose level, 1 through 5.
# 1 Quiet Print fatal errors only
# 2 Default Print errors and warnings only
# 3 Verbose Show equivalent shell commands being executed
# 4 Extra Verbose Show extra verbose information
# 5 Debug mode Everything
#
verbose 2

# Same as "verbose" above, but controls the amount of data sent to the
# logfile, if one is being used. The default is 3.
#
loglevel 3

# If you enable this, data will be written to the file you specify. The
# amount of data written is controlled by the "loglevel" parameter.
#
logfile /var/log/rsnapshot

# If enabled, rsnapshot will write a lockfile to prevent two instances
# from running simultaneously (and messing up the snapshot_root).
# If you enable this, make sure the lockfile directory is not world
# writable. Otherwise anyone can prevent the program from running.
#
lockfile /home/username/rsnapshot.pid


# The include and exclude parameters, if enabled, simply get passed directly
# to rsync. If you have multiple include/exclude patterns, put each one on a
# seperate line. Please look up the --include and --exclude options in the
# rsync man page for more details.
#
exclude .bash_history
