[Coldstuff] Ports with Genesis & ColdC

[Brandon Gillespie]

Based off the fact that root owns your backups folder, and that things
are actually going into it; I'm guessing that you are running genesis
as root?  This shouldn't actually be a problem for removing the
directory, but its not a good idea to be running as root.  YOu may
want to consider the setuid option to switch genesis to yourself
(jonathan)...

The init script I use on the Cold Dark does this, it is as follows.
As for your problem, you are probably best contacting me or somebody
on the Cold Dark to work through it real-time...
