Errors when backing up Mac OSX 10.11

Hi,

I get this sometimes when I backup my Mac OSX 10.11 machine:

2016-05-19 08:31:23.976 FreeFileSync[37406:903118] CFPasteboardRef CFPasteboardCreate(CFAllocatorRef, CFStringRef) : failed to create global data

2016-05-19 08:31:23.976 FreeFileSync[37406:903118] CFPasteboardRef CFPasteboardCreate(CFAllocatorRef, CFStringRef) : failed to create global data

2016-05-19 08:31:23.977 FreeFileSync[37406:903118] CFPasteboardRef CFPasteboardCreate(CFAllocatorRef, CFStringRef) : failed to create global data

2016-05-19 08:31:23.977 FreeFileSync[37406:903118] CFPasteboardRef CFPasteboardCreate(CFAllocatorRef, CFStringRef) : failed to create global data

This seems to be related to the pboard process, i.e. pasteboard server process, is required for CFPasteboardCreate. Problem is it is only launched when the first user logs in. However in this case, the user was logged into the console and I ran the backup in the background. Not sure if this is a major problem or not. It just happens with 10.11.

Sounds like it's related to the clipboard, but clipboard functions aren't used during sync, only when the user presses "Command + C".

I agree. I do not know when they are happening, but they are pretty consistent. I do not see any calls in the code to it either. For now I will ignore these errors as it seems like everything else works ok.
