Hi, I would first check to make sure that there is no issue with VSS on that specific box. One way is to run a manual backup of the system state (or just use ntbackup) then check the Event Viewer for specific errors. Another thing you could do is to enable tracing on the client then check the file to see what's specifically causing all those errors you are getting.
The link below has an abstract somewhat similar to the issue you are having except that it is with W2K - might or might not be helpful http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21224932 Patching and/or clean reboot might be all you need to do to resolve this issue... I hope. Good luck.
