[Box Backup] Failed to setup location

Hi all (and especially Chris?),
We set up a Windows client with version chris_general_1692.
The server is Box Backup Store Server vchris_merge_1725. Three other clients on that server are
working fine.
It seemed to work fine, got about 17GB stored (very quickly over client-side FIOS!), but a few
days later I noticed that no new files were being added, and then the logs show we started getting
the "Failed to setup location" error. Client and server logs below.
I don't think it should be trying to setup that location, because it already exists with lots of
files in it.
That location is a mapped drive from another server on which we have full control rights. It may
contain mapped locations below it (links to other servers in the network), which I know is a
no-no, but I don't think that's our problem. We actually see the .lnk file in the bbackupquery
backuplocation root, but we've deleted that file/link to try to fix the problem, to no avail. It
could be that one or more bad files are being copied into that backup location via an automated
script, but a look in the top directory showed all the files to be owned by the domain admin with
full control rights.
We tried to rename that BackupLocation by appending a "2" to its name, but that didn't help.
So there is something wrong with that directory, but we don't know where to look for the problem.
Any suggestions?
Should I submit a bug that the logs give us no clue as to what is wrong with the location (and
maybe that the error message is misleading)?
Thanks,
Pete
