That is odd - I haven't seen that before.
I would be interested to see the output from the following commands :

Ok, so from that it looks like backup.pl is still waiting on a response from the remote FTP server.
Are you sure the backup completes OK? If so, do you get an email message containing the backup results, or does it appear on the Backup Logs page?
