[Box Backup] bbackupctl always fails when run from crontab. Manual always OK?

[Tobias Balle-Petersen]

Hello....

I am now running a reload before I sync, and I have had no errors since 
I made the change.

Here are my new cronjobs:
20 10 * * * /usr/local/bin/bbackupctl -c /etc/box_minimoni/bbackupd.conf 
reload
25 10 * * * /usr/local/bin/bbackupctl -c /etc/box_minimoni/bbackupd.conf 
sync


Any ideas as to why this fixes my problem of dropping connections?
Does the reload command empty the /var/bbackupd?

Thanks,
Tobias
