Yeah, and I still haven't found the issue. Contrary to Martin's
suggestion, I did actually set the -a time correctly to N minutes
after the current system time, though I guess I didn't imply this.
This morning I'm still at 14GB. I mean, I should note that I'm not
actually removing any files or anything, and I still have the 25GB of
MP3s that were on there at the beginning. So. Still confused and
frustrated.

I'll give you that. It'll be nice when I figure out what it is and it
gets fixed. But until then, *grrrr*
