Thanks Bill. This problem seems to have been attributed to a whole lot 
of things piling up. Well, some of the piling on is probably due to my 
actions as well. What I noticed was that my storage groups had somehow 
gotten full to the gills. I do have the system set for a 1GB Extra disk 
space but both disks were maxed out. I went through and manually freed 
space by matching the to be expired files and cleaning out the file in 
the storage group. That got enough space to work with. Cleanup was 
finally done by restoring yesterday's database and using find_orphans.py 
to sync things up.

I do have the Master backend override selected on both the master and 
slave backends. They are still set.

My storage groups are just default with two disks mounted. They are 
formatted xfs but that shouldn't matter.

I'm not sure how it got into the downward spiral but it is working okay 
at the moment. I'll be keeping an eye on the storage groups for the time 
being.

Thanks,

Bruce
