"tarsnap: Cannot store file: File already exists"



Hi all,

I run tarsnap on a daily basis like this: 

tarsnap --humanize-numbers -c -f myhost-$(date "+%Y%m%d") /var /etc /usr/local/etc 

Several days ago, I started getting an error message:

tarsnap: Cannot store file: File already exists
tarsnap: Error closing archive
tarsnap: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
 
It doesn't appear to be the archive name that is causing problems. So what "file" is this referring to?
 
Thanks
