ERROR -- FAILED with non-zero exit status 255

During this phase, ssphys is used to extract each version of a file to
use in creation of the Subversion dump file. The error message is
saying that the extraction subcommand is failing to find the desired
version of a file in its physical file.
Try to determine which physical file and version is failing, and run
the ssphys command "by hand". You can also run "ssphys info" on that
physical file and see if there are any anomalies in the XML structure
generated. (Not errors in the XML, but problems with the VSS structure.)
Vss will allow you to set the flag "Store only latest version" at every
time. So it might be possible, that the current state of the flag is to
store revision deltas between each version, but at some point in time,
this flag was not set. I assume, that this is a global setting and that
we don't know the state of this flag in the history. We only know the
latest state.
During decoding, we will find delta records and we are able to generate
older versions of the file, until we get to the point, where this flag
was not set. Then we will see, that the file had a modification, but we
don't know what was modified, so we are unable to extract any version
prior to this point.
ssphys will report this with an non zero exit status and the "wrong"
message, that a "--help" could help you in resolving the issue.
For vss2svn this will only mean, that we do not have versions of the
file prior to this point.
Another explanation for this could be a broken physical file, but this
would probably result in a different message.
