My searches found 2 hotfixes - one that said it was for post-SP 1 (and I'm
on SP2), and another that was unclear if it had been rolled into SP2 or
not.
Do you have a list of the post-SP2 VSS hotfixes?

Absolutely nothing. :-) No error entries of any kind. No warnings of any
kind. Some informational messages about VSS successfully being sent a
start control (which I expect, since out of the 5 VSS operations that
NetWorker does, only 2 fail - the other 3 work fine).

HP Proliant DL560. Mirrored internal 36G drive as C: (19G free); 200G
drive mounted from my SAN as E: (124G free). Since I've never touched VSS
before in my life, I imagine the copies are on their respective drives.

The log from NetWorker (this server is a SQL2000 server, but I am
deliberately excluding all *.MDF files, so it's not even trying to backup
the SQL files, which is what I want - I have a separate job for that):
