Referring to my earlier posts:

I've dealt with those errors. but now have another.
When my backup scripts starts to backup chosen file, python gave me 
Traceback:

I've searched over google, but found only that is bug in Python ( 
http://bugs.python.org/issue4071  - in that issue bug is inside Python 
2.5.2 - i've got ActiveState Active Python with core Python 2.6.2), and 
another  info:   *http://tinyurl.com/lvyn7o  and **http://tinyurl.com/kn49vk

Here's my script code:

*Shouldn't that bug be patched already  :-?
