Yes I'm reading :-) It's a benign free space counting problem at the user
interface level that has been corrected in the latest version of
Diamond Back II V2.11. Rather ironic that a Statistican should have a
counting problem, eh? It does not effect the backup as Diamond Back II
will backup any GEM, BGM, or XGM partition in either file or image mode
and any Spectre partition in image mode. 

You can upgrade to Diamond Back II V2.11 by downloading a patch file from 
Genie or by sending your original disk to Data Innovations. In addition to
a number of bug fixes, the free upgrade includes a 3x speed increase in
HD to HD transfers, full support for high density 1.44+ meg floppies, and
the addition of a number of utility programs(formatters, file finders etc.)
in both .PRG and .ACC forms.
