I'll try that and let you know, Wayne — first, whether erasing the Time Capsule
succeeds and then, if so, whether that helps — but the TC documentation claims
that once the drive is full, the device normally deletes its oldest backup
files as new ones come in.

Your backup hard drive is full. If you want to erase and start over, why not
use disc utility? It will erase any drive in minutes.

Time Machine and Time Capsule are still not working. Replacing Time Machine
Editor with TimeMachineScheduler was no help. I was trying to restrict Time
Machine backups to once every 24 hours, instead of the default interval of one
hour. What I've accomplished is to make it APPEAR to back up at random
intervals several times a day, without actually doing so. The Time Machine icon
shows up in the menu bar and starts to revolve; the Time Capsule icon appears
on the Desktop; any other operating programs slow down until these indicators
suggest the backup is over (the slowdown was why I wanted the backups less
frequently in the first place). However, when I check the Time Capsule, no
backup has been made. There has been none since Jan. 5, the day I first
installed TimeMachineEditor.
