I'm not sure that it's just specific files, although I'm willing to be 
persuaded. I think that the error is caused by accessing the file with an 
invalid filename. path=c:\ should work, path=c: should not. The fact that 
path=c:\ does not apparently work for you is a bug, which I've added to 
the bug tracker and will investigate as soon as I can.

Which version of Box Backup are you using on the client?

Cheers, Chris.
