In my experience a 99 usually indicates that the file/folder/directory no
longer existed at the time NDMP went to read it.

Can't guarantee it, but this looks more like a problem on the NDMP host

You should at least look at /vol/vol0/etc/log/backup on the filer and see
what it says about this backup.  Anything useful?
