We had used VSP on NT4 at the time in NBU 3.4 - got to agree, in every case, it was turned off, because we found:
 
1) Backups never skipped any files with VSP turned on or off
2) Large cache files created
3) Pain to keep releasing the locks (use the sysinternals tool).
 
I guess the VSS option in NBU 5.x onwards was purely their way to use the VSS API to bring confidance into the Win2k3 backups.
 
Cheers Rusty

In my opinion, VSP has never worked as it was advertised. We do not use it, and this issue just adds more fuel to that fire, for me.
I was hoping that it had been fixed in 6.x, but apparently that is not the case.

Got to agree with Jonathan, seems odd to me, but in a 500+ environment, not had to carry out the steps that has been pointed out.
 
Give it time.... maybe?

Not to disagree with Ed, but I've got better than 100 Windows 2003 clients installed without this issue, including the aforementioned x64-bit.

And a lot of people will survive "name your disease".  But some will die.

The fact that it works for you does not discount the documented and acknowledged fact that it fails for some people some time.
