Hi Chuck,

Thanks for looking at this. I have updated the patch to match the current backup 
tree <http://lists.mysql.com/commits/58536>.

I have changed it to "Could not create the validity point". Phrase "for backup" 
is neither needed nor really correct -- IMO the validity point is not a property 
of "the backup" but rather of the backup image created. Anyway, we don't need it 
because the message is seen in context of backup operation. Compare:

sql> BACKUP ... TO ....;
ERROR: Could not create the validity point for backup.

and

sql> BACKUP ... TO ....;
ERROR: Could not create the validity point.

The user knows that the error message is related to the BACKUP command he just 
issued.
