Right after I sent this message I asked the Exchange guy to disable "vss
instant restore" and see if that worked, and viola, its working.

Not sure what the vss instant does, but it obviously doesn't like
incrementals from a legacy backup, :-D.

No, I don't think I'm running 5.3.3.0.1 I have never downloaded it.

The backup was legacy, which I believe had something to do with it,
actually.
