Not sure if the backup failed or is still progressing

Hello

After much frustration with /.gvfs creating a cannot stat error when I
run tarsnap as root user, I gave up and excluded it.

Currently my command looks like this:

tarsnap -c --keyfile /root/tarsnap.key --cachedir
/usr/local/tarsnap-cache -f rkpat20130530 --exclude
/home/rkpatel7/.gvfs /home/rkpatel7

I'm running tarsnap as root in order to be able to access the key file
and the cache directory. However, upon executing this command I simply
receive this message:

tarsnap: Removing leading '/' from member names

proceeded by a blank line.

I cannot tell if this means that the backup has begun or if something
is wrong with my command that is preventing tarsnap from following the
command. Any help would be appreciated. If I have forgotten to mention
anything, please let me know. I am running Xubuntu 12.04.

Thank you,
R. Patel
