Without changing anything, I suddenly got the following error message when
doing my backups using zoo.

ERROR: Could not open ....
and I get this error for every file in the archive.

I've been using the following batch file for doing the incremental backups:

stuff / -modified ! -name *.bak ! -name temp.* ! -size +1000 > temp.bak
zoo aIunP diffback <temp.bak
erase temp.bak

This batch file was working fine - all of the sudden, I get this error 
message every time.  The size of diffback is only about 700K right now.
I've got 6MB left on my hard disk and a chkdsk revealed no problems.  Not
only that, I used Norton Disk Doctor and checked every single sector on the
hard disk and have no problems.

Can anyone shed any light on this?  Even a few ideas of how to pursue this
strange problem would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
