For the benefit of list readers and those that may still be trying to assist me with troubleshooting.
I have finally been able to duplicate the errors on my own terms. I could never duplicate this before, because I would sit at a terminal window and make the snapshot, mount the snapshot, browse the snapshot, and umount the snapshot in that order. Finally, I decided to try to *behave* more like I expect a script to work. I opened two terminal windows. In one, I started the snapshot generation process. In the other, I tried to mount the snapshot before it was finished. It, of course, didn't work. More importantly, however, _I got the exact errors that I would randomly get in my automated overnight backups. _Now that I can reproduce the error, fixing and implementing is trivial. Many thanks to you those that provided assistance with this matter.
