Thats a good thought Richard, and easily checked with an sql query However if this is the same as I am seeing the sql does not find anything.

Hmmm... I wonder if the Sending error might be the client having seen the name in the active-files list it got from the server at the start of the backup and, not having found the file in the client file system, is trying to incite an Expire, but is having trouble communicating that file name to the server (odd characters, etc.). Keep in mind that many message-issuance routines expect normalcy in the strings they handle, and neither look for nor deal with inadvertent non-displayable, binary characters. That kind of thing can always throw off an investigation: what you see is not the reality.
