[Networker] ASR Disk backup Failing

NetWorker 7.1.2 on W2K3
HP BL20 G3 Blade Servers with no floppy disk.

We have an issue where the ASR disk backups fail.
If VSS is turned off then ASR: is not shown as a failure and the generated ASR 
data is too small.

Has anybody seen similar problems and can offer any help?

Directives dont work for to exclude the (VSS) ASR saveset.
We want to continue to use VSS backups and ALL as the saveset definition.
