See the "Automating Tasks" chapter in the client manual for information on client return codes. The return code is not variable based on *number* of skipped files (it is always 4, unless there is some other warning or error that would cause the return code to be higher).
Without the actual error and schedule logs, it's not really possible to explain specifically why the event failed.
