sleep option after a scheduled backup not working

[rdlsmith]

I set a scheduled sparse image backup to run today and as an option I selected the put computer to sleep after a successful copy.

Looking at the log, it seems the copy worked. I'm able to mount the sparse image and just a quick look suggests that at least the top level folders were created.

Here's the last part of the log file:

Is the this a good transfer rate?
"Cloned 25.98 GB of data in 1939 seconds at an effective transfer rate of 13.72 MB/s"

Also, what is the "bless" this and that all about?
