IMHO, changing the backup program won't help. I got this a lot when using CTAR; the directory is read but the file is deleted before the backup program is able to read it. The error is occurring at the OS level. If a backup program could somehow lock the state of the directory, that would fix it, but you'd then encounter "mail server can't write to directory" errors. Does the error otherwise disrupt the backup process?
