I am currently experiencing a similar problem with PCBACKUP.  I use a setup
file to back up a certain subdirectory at the end of each day, and kick off
PCBACKUP by supplying the setup name.  Here's what happens:

    1.  Backup of actual files work fine.  It uses up about 15 tracks to hold
	the actual data.

    2.  In the process of writing the directory to disk, the disk drive grinds
	three times, then a red error message box flashes.

    3.  It asks for another disk, even though I *know* that there's plenty of
	space left in the first disk.

I was able to recreate this problem by running PCBACKUP interactively, and
I found that the red error message box says "Error while writing directory
data".

Anybody seen this problem?
