Very interesting... I have this exact same issue with mine. A couple of
folders wont back up. Nothing special about them, I just have to accept it.
I spent a good couple of weeks going round in circles before I eventually
started backing up one folder at a time, eventually ending up with the dodgy
culprits (was an exciting time in my life!).

Be interested to hear what apple say when they get back to you.
