Question for ya... if I read this right:

* client.domain.com:All rcmd client.domain.com, user root: `savefs -s 
server.domain.com -c client.domain.com -g Laptops -p -l full -R -v' 

This means it's trying to run the "savefs" command on the client with user 
"root".  But being a Windows box this doesn't work too well.   :) 

Do you have "root" in the "remote user" field in the "Apps & Modules" tab of 
the client config?  If so then delete those fields and it should work.


Also is this just one Networker server backing this up or are there storage 
nodes involved?  I've seen this when the client is supposed to backup to a 
storage node but is missing a route so it can talk to the primary server but 
not a storage node.  Then the probe job works fine like this but the savefs 
command dies since it can't talk to the storage node it's supposed to save to.

Let us know if this helps at all!
