I never run it under Multifinder (I am using release 1.3).  It takes
so much longer, because every time I insert a disk, Finder sees it and
wants to create or read in the Desktop file.  This doesn't happen
under 'uni'finder.  My guess is that DiskFit may be filling certain of
your backup disks just borderline full enough that the desktop file
just doesn't quite fit and something is hanging as a result.  Accept
this as an answer if you have a large grain of salt to go with it.
