I'm not disagreeing that this is supposed to happen, and I hate saying
it's wrong, but it's not what I'm seeing, and I don't see anything
invalid in my configuration. I can snap -a, and it won't go to venti.
I ran snapclean and nothing went down. After that, I changed the
snaptime so that it would run a Venti dump in 5 minutes. 10 minutes
later, I see no difference.

So I'm either missing something fundamental here, something's really
broken, or I'm just dumb. I'm willing to concede the latter of the 3,
but it would be really nice to be enlightened. Is there anything I can
show you guys to help diagnose the issue further?
