Vicki,

  The version 2 ADSM clients on NT have had some problems processing files
with unusual names.  You might see if the new V3 clients can handle it.  V3
is supposed to not stop a backup when it hits a file it cannot handle, so
at least you will complete your backups on those filespaces.

Good luck,
 dt
