What version of Box Backup are you running? If it's 0.10, can you upgrade 
to 0.11? The newer versions have much more detailed error messages that 
would help us to figure out what's going wrong.

You could also try this command:

   sudo -u _bbstored touch \
   /home/darrenlee/mnt/wd1T/.boxbackup/backup/075ab23c/write.lock

and see what it says. If it reports an error, there's something wrong with 
the filesystem or the disk. (Could it be mounted read-only?)

Cheers, Chris.
