There's your problem. You're not going to get clean backups of Win2003
boxes with anything less than a client level of 5.3.2 (and 5.3.3 if you
get odd volume shadow copy errors). We're getting a lot of these errors:

06/14/2006 17:59:14 processSysvol(): NtFrsApiGetBackupRestoreSets(): RC =
2
06/14/2006 17:59:14 processSysvol(): NtFrsApiDestroyBackupRestore(): RC =
0

when Win2000 and Win2003 get certain MS hotfixes. Upgrading to 5.3.3.0
fixed the issues.
