Jan,

The RC=128 is coming from the launch of the "c:\excincr.cmd".
This is a Windows NT error code from a "system()" call.
The Exchange Agent backup commands are not even getting a chance
to run...which is why you don't see any error logs.

There a number of different reasons RC=128 (ERROR_WAIT_NO_CHILDREN)
can be received... the main one that I see is:
  "The system has run out of desktop heap space" (from MS doc)

Suggestion:
  1. Try rebooting to see if it clears up the problem.
  2. If not, increase the heap space on the NT machine.
     (See Microsoft KB article: Q184802 for details)

Again, this problem is caused because your NT server is having
trouble launching the command file.  The Exchange Agent
is not getting called to run.
