Interesting, I forgot all about junctions in Windows. I have a backup
scheduled for tonight, I'm going to see what it does with VSS turned off
(both the service on the Vista machine and in the client config).

Actually there is, kind of :-(
If you do
dir /a C:\
dir /a "C:\Documents and Settings\joeshmo\AppData\Local"
you'll see some junctions which could be confusing Bacula.
On winXP SP2 I have several junctions and bacula handles them correctly
(gives an error and does not descend into them) as I witnessed that today.
