Objet : [Networker] VSS errors backing up Win2008 R2 clients

NW 7.5.2, on Win2003 SP2. Clients are Win2008 R2, NW 7.5.2.

I'm seeing some errors when backing up my Win2008 R2 clients. The funny thing 
is, I see the exact same error about the exact same file, on all the clients ...

* dctrads001:VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\ System Writer - Get file attributes returned 
error 3 for VSS file 
\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy24\windows\system32\cba\pds.exe
* dctrads001:VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\ System Writer - Error saving file path 
C:\windows\system32\cba\pds.exe that is associated with Shadow Copy path 
\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy24\windows\system32\cba\pds.exe. 
The system cannot find the path specified. 
* dctrads001:VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\
* dctrads001:VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\ System Writer - ERROR: Failed to save 
FileGroup files, writer = System Writer
* dctrads001:VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\ System Writer - Error saving writer System 
Writer
* dctrads001:VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\ System Writer - ERROR: Aborting backup of 
saveset VSS SYSTEM FILESET: because of the error with writer System Writer.
* dctrads001:VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\ System Writer - Error saving
* dctrads001:VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\ /

I've read where this type of error is caused by not having a drive letter 
assigned to the MS reserved partition. Unfortunately none of my servers seem to 
have this special partition. I do *not* see any such partition in Disk 
Management. There is only the 1 partition on the disk. The server was created 
using the HP Smart Start tool. I see the same thing (lack of reserved 
partition) even on my Win2008 R2 VMs, which are also exhibiting this error. 
There is no reserved partition for me to assign a drive letter on any of my 
Win2008 R2 clients.

Any other areas to investigate? I only see this particular error (about
pds.exe) from my Win2008 R2 clients. I do have the KB940349 VSS Rollup Hotfix 
applied on the server ...
