Eric - This may be one of those interpretation and semantics issues.

The ANR1257W message description says that the file involved is one which was
*previously* marked Damaged.  Your most recent storage pool backup thus did not
discover the problem, but merely responded to the flagging to skip the file and
go to completion.  It that sense, it was an orderly and successful storage pool
backup.  I would expect that the backup which discovered the problem did not
complete successfully - we hope.  It would be worth it to all of us if you
could go back in Activity Logs and see what happened at discovery time.
Also, run a query and see if that instance of the file is already in the
backup storage pool - which would be a good thing, allowing you to recover it
to the primary pool.  A RESTORE STGpool Preview=Yes would probably tell you
if this were so.
