To store the metadata about the backups, yes.  ;)  It's not storing the 
backups themselves there, just data about which blocks are part of which 
set.

Tarsnap can get that info from the cloud if it needs it, but it's a lot of 
work for what's basically housekeeping, so for most cases it's better to 
keep a local copy.  Hence the cachedir.
