I think you need to consider how the backup process is run.  Normally
people start Evolution from the GUI - click on an icon etc. The backup
process is that the when you click the menu item, it starts an external
program which closes Evolution and it's associated factories, does the
backup, then restarts Evolution.  In that process, because you didn't
start Evolution from the command line, there's nowhere for any messages
to appear, and because it restarts Evolution before terminating,
there's no return code to Evolution to indicate an error occurred and
there's no parent process to display the error.
