Something is creating a systemprofile directory under \windows\system32\config on one of my Windows 2003 servers. According to the link below, any user created directories under the config directory will fail the system state backup.

According to Microsoft, Windows 2003 creates this directory when an application or service used the LoadUserProfile API to load a user profile for a process running as the local system.
(Look under the heading System Profile about 1/3 of the way down on this page:)

I'm guessing Backup exec 8.6 came out before Microsoft started doing this with XP and 2003, so they don't account for it and they just mark the job as failed.
Is there a patch for 8.6 which will make it not fail the system state jobs when this directory exists?
