When you are disconnected, there is NO network traffic (cool eh :) )

Somewhere in Venus a refcount on an fsobj (like an inode but then rather
more complicated) was not decreased.  As often this message is pretty
useless: it should print the fid of the file and all relevant information
in the log for it to be useful. 

Grrr, I have no idea -- I'll post it to our bugs list.  We should get to
look in great detail at hoarding etc during the next 3 months (Jan Harkes
will be joining us in early June and he will become our integrated
disconnected hoarding Venus guru.).

BTW I'm confident that with some help and persistence you _can_ run your
own server.
