I have to have something messed up with permissions or something when 
setting this up on Windows 2003.  Today I tried it on a completely 
different Windows 2003 server, on a different domain, with a completely 
different setup.  I've tried matching the path case in the config to 
that of what Windows "thinks" it is.  I even tried copying everything 
from my working XP computer over to the server and running a backup from 
there.   All that I have done yields that 1/9 exception.

Is there some way I can turn up debugging, or do something that allows 
me to see what the heck Box is trying to access?  I don't know if it's a 
permissions problem or what, but something is going on that's not kosher.

Any other suggestions would be great as I'm anxious to get this up on my 
2k3 servers.

Thanks,
Mike
