ghettoVCB script not removing snapshots. Please help!

Hello everyone, I have ESXi 4.0 up and running with about 5 guest machines. I've set up ghettoVCB.sh to backup one very important vm machine but I'm running into problems.

 

 

I have mounted an NFS share to the esxi host which I'm using as a destination path for my backups, I've set up crontabs to run on the host server as explained in the ghettoVCB guide. When the cron job runs at night it creates a log which i check every morning when I come in. However, the log says that it has removed the snapshot :

 

 

Clone: 100% done.

2010-04-07 00:30:58 -- info: Removing snapshot from Orion ...

 

 

but when I navigate to the "Orion" folder on the host server I find a bunch of '---delta' files that were not removed, so next time ghettoVCB runs it fails to backup saying that a snapshot for "Orion" already exists. What can be causing this issue? I 've been trying to figure this out for a while, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
