Looks to me like you box ran a backup each morning and sent exactly one
notice per backup. I don't see any errors here (unless backups aren't
supposed to be run so frequently).

If you look at the bottom most Received: header you'll see the details
of exim receiving the message from the script (btw, that isn't the
right hostname!). A couple hours later exim passed the message on. I
snipped the other Received: headers since they all follow the same
pattern, and match the Date: header in their respective messages.

HTH,
