Huh?

   I see what happened :) The mtime on 2.6.38.8-1 was *newer* than the mtime on 
2.6.39.1-1. So when I ran the script that compares the mtimes on kernel26 and 
moves the oldest to the backup dir, 2.6.39 got moved:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38724304 Jun  7 01:34 
/home/backup/pkg-1/kernel26-2.6.39.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37677884 Jun  7 01:52 kernel26-2.6.38.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

   Dunno how that happened - mystery solved...
