[FX.php List] Not a valid path - for scheduled backups

[Bob Patin]

Not only is it safe and effective, but you should run it often. Some  
techs recommend running it after every install of new software--that  
may be a bit overcautious, but I've seen REPAIR PERMISSIONS fix  
things on my laptop many times (especially Dreamweaver, which seems  
to be error-prone).

I could *swear* that I'd tried in the past to backup to an external  
drive connected via USB2, and that I never got it to succeed; I  
always set the permissions for backup folders, so that wasn't the  
issue; I wish I'd asked that question yesterday at that RAID session  
(I was in there too, Jay; very interesting stuff).
