Kristyn-

The messages are annoying yet normal and can be ignored.  They are caused
by the fd driver spewing too many debug messages.  In the next release of
the ft driver I use my own I/O routines so this problem will be eliminated
entirely.  I just went from 1.1.5 to 2.0.5 myself and I get the messages
as well, but my backups and restores work fine.
