Hi Larry. Thanks for the reply.

There should always be files in the directories. The dba keeps 7 days of backups and deletes anything > 8 days old. So, here's an update to see if anyone has other suggestions. It's still not working. Details on current settings for client-local.cfg and analysis.cfg are below:

Any further help or alertnative method appreciated…

client-local.cfg for mysqlserver01: [MYSQLSERVER01]

dir:find /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/ -name '*.sql' -mtime 0 2>/dev/null

file:/Volumes/MySQL_Backups/mysql_backup_20121004.sql

file:find /Volumes/MySQL_Backups/ -name '*.sql' 2>/dev/null | sort -r | head -1

This returns a file with the latest timestamp - Fri Oct 5 12:59:57 CDT 2012 - Files ok

Clicking the link above gives this:
