failure to backup -> everything is sunshine

[Tomas Pospisek]

1)
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

2)
$ dpkg -s backintime-kde | grep Version
Version: 0.9.26-3

3)
I expected that I see an error message when backintime fails to do a backup

4)
Instead due to me bumping into the external drive, the filesystem went read-only,
but no message in the GUI whatsoever though. No sign there that anything broke.

It looks like everything would be sunshine only. Even though the backup failed
and is broken.

On the command line this looks like this - however a click-to-start user will never
see that:

rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/media/B/backup/backintime/new_snapshot/backup/mnt/mhddfs/home/tpo/tpo2_snapshot" failed: No such file or directory (2)

The GUI looked like the attached screenshot after the backup. Notice the lack of valid snapshots...
