------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 If {{{source/}}} does not exist, {{{tahoe backup source tahoe:backupdir}}}
 will print "{{{WARNING: permission denied on directory 'source'}}}".
 "Permission denied" is a confusing way of saying that the directory does
 not exist.

 Also, warnings could easily be missed since the last line still says just:
 {{{backup done, elapsed time: ...}}}.
