My colleague and I looked into this issue and found that we could reproduce
this behavior under the following conditions:

1) FD runs on Windows 2003 Server
2) VSS is enabled
3) Only one file-list is listed in FileSet resource
4) the file-list is a folder (directory)

So, a workaround is to add a dummy file-list.  I hope this will help.
