Well, your way (file-name-nondirectory) is better.  I didn't know about
that function.  However, none of the scripts work overall, your old way,
 with my modification, or with your new code. I was testing it wrong.
Apparently, emacs stopping backing up a file if you delete the backup
while it's running.  But this only lasts until you exit emacs.

The prompt comes up, but the script just doesn't work; the files still
get backed up.
