** Description changed:

  configuration files seem to be missing; I'm not sure why. (Maybe I've
  got a backup?) Simple configuration created a new profile, but when I
  set a destination, it refused with the above unintelligible-to-me
  message.

  nothing in /var/crash.
  
  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, Ubuntu 13.04
  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  curious -- Software Centre asks if I want to install it. ?????
  3) What you expected to happen
  create a new profile
  4) What happened instead
  displayed above message; please restart and try again. Which I did,  and the problem repeated.

+ 
+ -----------
+ Thinking about the install problem, a bit more background. sbackup configuration would not recognize my administrative password. I ran it by tracing back tot he program and running sudo (alias) from a terminal.
+ 
+ After writing the bug report, I used synaptic to install, then
+ completely uninstall, then install. It still wouldn't authenticate.
