Please patch your client to the same version as Master and media server.

There have been MANY issues with Shadow Copy Component backups in older versions of NBU.

Many fixes have been introduced in 7.x patches. 

So, please upgrade this client to 7.1, and then patch with 7.1.0.3.

Let us know how it goes.

Sounds like a VSS issue.  Send your team to this TechNote and ask them to perform the steps (run vssadmin list writers) to determine if the System Writer is missing:

Shadow copy components/System state backups fail with status 69: invalid filelist specification
 http://symantec.com/docs/TECH178507

If it IS missing, you may need to ask Microsoft what the next step is.
