Do you think this could be the reason for the backup failing?
Repairing permissions is a waste of time; there is nothing to repair on a time machine backup. Without knowing exactly what error it ran into originally... the only choice left is to wipe out the backup and restart it. Chances are pretty good in n days it will slam into the same problemo tho.
