Constant "sequence number mismatch" errors



I run tarsnap every day from cron on my Linux laptop using th following command:

tarsnap -v --cachedir=/tmp/tarsnap/ --keyfile=/root/tarsnap.key -c -f aaronhome-$(date +%Y%M%d) --exclude cellmedia --exclude code --exclude download --exclude docs --exclude iso --exclude *cache* --exclude *Cache* --exclude *Trash* --exclude *trash* /home/aaron/

Every night it spits out the following message:
tarsnap: Sequence number mismatch: Run --fsck
tarsnap: Error creating new archive

So I run:

tarsnap -v --cachedir=/tmp/tarsnap/ --fsck --keyfile=/root/tarsnap.key --exclude cellmedia --exclude code --exclude download --exclude docs --exclude iso --exclude *cache* --exclude *Cache* --exclude *Trash* --exclude *trash* /home/aaron/

It runs through the check without any error messages, and I am able to manually run the cronjob to take a backup for the day.  The next morning it fails again with the same errors.

What am I missing?  :)
