Did it actually say "exception thrown" or are you using that as a  
generic "error occurred" equivalent? From what I recall, the message  
that tells you when/by who the file was last opened will not show up  
in the actual "exception" error dialog. An exception is geek speak for  
a certain way of handling errors or unexpected happenings, and the  
term "exception" should not be used in place of "error", otherwise the  
developer will be confused and follow the wrong debugging path.

You mean the act of backing up changes source privs? That should not  
be so. Backup should be read-only on the source volume.
