[Box Backup] RaidFileDoesntExist (2/11) Error -- can't find info.rfw

I've come across an odd issue with one of my Box Backup clients (v0.10, 
server and clients) -- "exception RaidFile RaidFileDoesn'tExist 
(2/11)".  The error arose several months ago, and continues to happen on 
any attempted connection for that particular client, both remote 
connections -- from bbackupd or bbackupquery, during bbstored 
housekeeping, or locally on the backup server when running 
"bbstoreaccounts info".

I saw no further details when enabling ExtendedLogging or a debug build, 
but I added a few extra debugging statements and figured out that it 
can't find "info.rfw" in that account's folder.  I see an info.rfw file 
in other accounts' folders, but not in /backups/backup/000000c2/.  Any 
ideas what could have caused this, or how to recreate this file?  I'm 
hoping there's a way to recover from this situation rather than blowing 
away the store and having the client repopulate an empty store.  I'd 
like to know what sort of situation could cause this, but evidence for 
that may be long gone...

I've included the log from when the error started, but I see no useful 
information.  There are a number of accounts on this server (~10) all 
using the same raid disc 0, which is just a folder on a single drive. 

I appreciate any input!
