Drats. I was hoping to avoid a script on the client side; I want to keep 
the client-side configuration to a minimum. Ideally, I'd like to use a 
Group Policy or startup script to push out the FD, so that new clients 
would get added automatically. On the server side, I already have a 
script that automatically generates the configuration for a new client.

Do you by any chance know what privileges are necessary? The service 
currently runs under the local system account.

Update: I think I found the cause. After I added the logging option 
/l:f, the system state backup is suddenly running without a problem. No 
idea why that would make a difference.
