Note that this is a *different* error than the first one: Permission 
denied.

Because you ran housekeeping as root, some files are now owned as root, so 
boxbackup will not be able to update them.

Perhaps it was able to delete the refcount db itself at the next 
housekeeping, and recover from that error by itself, but other files 
still owned by root will create problems for you in future.

Cheers, Chris.
