I think I've found one cause but it may not be the only one. It appears that
if you have replaced a directory with a file of the same name, the next time
that backup job is run you will get a "tree corrupted" error. In fact the
tree isn't corrupted at that point; SafeStore merely thinks it is.
So this could be the answer to some of the problems seen, but I suspect not
all of them.
I can't think of any instance where I would have replaced a directory
with a file of the same name although I might occasionally have done
the reverse. I normally use DOS-style filename extensions for files
but don't always bother for RISC OS only file types.
If SafeStore reports a corrupted tree file it invariably is corrupted,
but almost certainly got corrupted on the previous run.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
