Yep, Troubleshooting servers and there nuisances along with the Almighty Chest Cold ( I just got over mine) in the fridgid confines of the datacenter does not make one Sysadmin happy.
License Logging Service doesn't have anything to do with it, but best to just disable that service. Defintely do a full chkdsk and the chkntfs and verify you don't have underlying corruption and/or your ntfs volume isn't dirty and needs a cleaning/chkdsking to get it fixed. Also check the drivers/firmware on the drives/RAID card after you fix the underlying disk problems and upgrade both ( Usually done with SPAQ and Diskettes, CD on HP boxes) If still having problems, get a good backup verify you can restore the data back off tape and smoke the partition/disk LUN and re-create it and restore the data accordingly.

I've been fighting (another) chest cold and was stumbling out of the center when this problem snagged me (delaying my out-stumble for an hour or so...) Checking the event logs, I see that license logging service had not been disabled. I also saw a report of a bad block on the drive containing the user files. I've run newly-arrived MS patches and am now re-booting into a file system check. If this doesn't work, then I'll look into the backup agent snag and command line utilities.
