What does the error log show?

Subject: Millions of files failed... Wha?


I've a client on windows 5.3.0.0 (He's thinking about moving to
5.4.0.2) who's seeing, every day, reports like this:


 Total number of objects inspected: 1,323,867(SESSION: 6278)
 Total number of objects backed up:        0(SESSION: 6278)
 Total number of objects updated:          1(SESSION: 6278)
 Total number of objects rebound:          0(SESSION: 6278)
 Total number of objects deleted:          0(SESSION: 6278)
 Total number of objects expired:     25,022(SESSION: 6278)
 Total number of objects failed:    1,323,867(SESSION: 6278)


I would normally expect a scheduler log full to overflowing with 1.3M
iterations of "Can't get file [x] for reason [y]".

But the scheduler log is nearly empty: Just the normal expiration
messages.


So, a riddle: What is it that fails a million files, but makes no
noise?
