SUMMARY
When the backup starts and the target cannot be written to due to permission problems, I receive no error message.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. plug in USB HD, which is mounted with root permission
2. Desktop user has no write permission
3. kup starts and asks if the backup shall start

OBSERVED RESULT
After pressing button to start backup, nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
After pressing button to start backup, kup checks if target can be written to or handle error message of underlying sync program.
