I'm still not really through, but it was pointed out to me that quiescent
FS != no Changes to Files and Dirs; Even without such Changes, the Kernel
may choose to rearrange the FS's Structure, causing Verification to fail.
Thus, Verification in a Backup Script meant to run in Multiuser is a dead
Donkey. :-}
