[Box Backup] Redundant locations not removed?

Hello Chris.

I reverted back to 0.10 client from chris_merge 1696. The redundant locations were removed after 48
hours as they should be. My files are now being backed up.

The store is still chris_merge.

So it would seem there was an error in client v. 1696.
