Reason is SharpDrive token file exists before mount

More fun fun fun with Microlite BackupEDGE.

A variation on the theme today and again, one that didn't seem to be covered by the FAQ on their support site.

Failed to initalise my disk :

Reason is SharpDrive token file exists before mount

Turns out that somehow I've managed to get a .edge.token in the directory where the disk gets mounted, but prior to the mount taking place!

For me it was 

/usr/lib/edge/system/mnt/sd.sdc1

ls -lt shows me that I had a token file there, even without the disk mounted.

A quick rm and problem is sorted!
