VSS 8194 Event ID Error

I am receiving the above error from VSS in my application logs when I try to

backup with Mozy and Retrospect....

I was on the phone with Mozy support trying to debug the probelm with no

luck. We've tried reregistering the vss dlls and restarting services with no

luck.

As soon as Mozy reports it is doing the shadow copy I get the log entry

below. After reboot it is clear.

Vssadmin list writers always displays this after the bad shadow copy also:
