sbackup fails to write to destination drive since 10.04

[Nick Allen]

Binary package hint: sbackup

Hi,
Summary to create problem
1. launch simple backup
2. select destination
3. save settings (not sure if this is needed)
4. click 'backup now'
5. check destination for newly created directory

Verbose:
I have been successfully using sbackup for over a year on previous versions of Ubuntu, so assume this problem may be to do with Ubuntu 10.04. sbackup appears to load correctly, but I found I had to re-enter all of my data concerning which folders to backup & where to backup to, which I then successfully saved. However, when clicked on 'backup now' no folder was created on my destination.
 The backup destination is a USB connected standalone hard disk (iomega), and I am able to create & delete folders on it using normal file manager settings (I don't need root privilege) Computer is an asus eee 1000 with SSD hard disk. OS is Ubuntu 10.04 I've also tried launching from a terminal using 'sudo /usr/sbin/simple-backup-config' but this produced the same result - GUI okay, but no files written to iomega disk.
I've searched my system logs but can't find any reference to sbackup which has stumped me a bit! (I think I've searched all of the logs under 'simple' & 'sbackup' as well as 'backup' but couldn't find any reference to this program? If you tell me where to look I'll happily try again & submit anything needed.
