I am running the script on the wiki..I ran a test today by coping the 
backups to another drive,then I ran the script.It worked fine and didn't 
delete my files... What I posted above is what shows up when I run the 
script...
Update, I just ran the script again,and now the backups do show in the 
Database backup groups...I didn't do anything any different,so I have no 
idea what the problem could have been...
Thanks again for your time...
