Did this only happen once? It looks a bit like bbackupd tried to write 
something to the connected bbackupctl client, for example notifying it 
about a sync start or finish, just at the same time that the client was 
disconnecting because it already had what it wanted. This could happen 
very occasionally, randomly, and should not be a cause for concern, 
because bbackupd should ignore the error.

If it happened more than once this morning, OR there is no obvious cause 
(e.g. a backup didn't start immediately afterwards), OR the daemon died 
instead of ignoring the SocketWriteError, please let me know.

Cheers, Chris.
