Good advice, but I'd like to make a solid effort to figure out what's wrong before blotting out the evidence with a reinstall. Without knowing what caused it, I could be back in this situation at any...

Yes and yes.

If I mount the volume from the Finder via "Connect to Server" and then run SuperDuper and have it execute the backup script then it will perform the backup normally with one...

I had a 580MB disk image handy, so I used that as the source and used SuperDuper to make a backup sparse image on my server. The original disk image had 60MB of free space.

The resulting sparse...

Yes it is. It definitely is. You made me just paranoid enough that I edited the script to add some beeps to it. It's running.
