Still Searching for a solution and or root cause.  so far we just have to flag as known error and check in time to time to see if anyone else may have come up with a different idea.  but the files are gone as the error states as if the process completed but it still tracking the file and attempts to remove it again?

Can check in the box if the file actually exists and check the permissions?
