[ADSM-L] Windows backup failing in a Clustered Envirnoment

Hello All,

I just upgraded a Windows client  Cluster Configured backup environment
from 5.3.0.0. to 5.5.0.2. The upgrade seemed to go ok but the active
node Cluster node backup failed to complete successfully. I found the
errors below in the Clients dsm.errorlog. I know VSS Errors have been
mentioned here before but I can't find one that pertains to a Cluster (
If A Cluster backup is even relevant at all when it pertains to VSS
errors. Has anyone seen this type of VSS error before?

What is it with the 5.5.x.x Clients and these VSS errors anyway? I don't
believe these occurred with the earlier Clients that we had. Also are
the VSS errors fixed in the latest 5.5.0.6? I haven't read about any If
not is there something that I can put in the dsm.opt file to correct the
issue? Or do I have to upgrade to the latest 5.5.0.6? which  makes me
cringe (due to it being a Cluster and I just struggled a little through
this first one.

F.Y.I - The passive node part of the Cluster has a successful backup
