The check should run in the foreground. Could you run it and capture the 
full output for us?

Probably not deleted because housekeeping is crashing. Could you please 
keep the account around for now, maybe create a new account if you have to 
but I'd like to investigate what's going on here as there may be more than 
one problem.

What exact version of Box Backup are you running on the server and the
