The phrase "failed backup" has been used too loosely with this thread...
always a problem in a technical formum.  The original posting suggested
that the backup completed, with a few files being unprocessable.
The return code 4 thus agrees with the documentation in the Automating
Tasks chapter of the B/A Clients manual.
