See the "Automating Tasks" chapter in the client manual for information on
client return codes. The return code is not variable based on *number* of
skipped files (it is always 4, unless there is some other warning or error
that would cause the return code to be higher).

Without the actual error and schedule logs, it's not really possible to
explain specifically why the event failed.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
