Cleaning up a rsnapshot sequence, ..

Move one out of sequence:		mv daily.0 junk.0
Move another out of sequence:
	Normally:			mv daily1 junk.1

However, in this case:			mv daily.1 junk.0

So, .. the original daily.0 magically disappeared, to be replaced by
daily.1!

So, what happened to the daily.0 directory structure? Is this a simple way
to get rid of a daily? The majority of files are just hardlinks anyway, ..

	TIA!
