It looks like a bug/misfeature in verify of a VSS job.  The problem is that
the count of files in a VSS backup includes a special object called
job_metadata.xml, but this isn't a real file so verify can't find it.

I'm not convinced that VolumeToCatalog verify can be used reliably with VSS
jobs anyway though, because it will be verifying the current state rather than
the snapshot.  That can lead to false mismatches, even without the
job_metadata.xml issue.
