I finally got this working...

I wound up clearing out the backup list and starting one directory at
a time. Everything worked but /root. I ended up getting rid of some
really ancient and innocuous-looking files from there, and now it all
seems to work.

I got rid of a dump.log from 2008, some df and fdisk information, a
few old package lists (I have a script that backs them up to
/var/backups now and not a problem backing those up, a
vmware-any-any-update and a vmmon-only directory. That's it. I also
changed up the order (as a result of doing one directory at a time).
Search me why it works...

Thanks for everyone's help. I wish I could come up with a causative
factor, but I can't.
