I have a a similar situation as https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/netbackup-error-14 with Client on NB 5.1MP5, master on 7.0.1, with windows 2000 as client OS.
Increased the TCP parameters in Registry, Full backups are successfuly without any issues, incrementals fail with EC 14, show the following in detailed status"
ERR - failure reading file: D:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\logs\bpbkar\011412.LOG (WIN32 13: The data is invalid. )
FTL - tar file write error (40)"
file write failed (14)
Any Suggestions? thanks in advance.

As well as Mariannes excellent advice in respect of upgrading it sounds like you are backing up the D drive when this fails and it is trying to back up the log file of the backup itself - hope that makes sense!
As you are on V5 and using VSP for open file backups this is causing the crash
Set an exclude on the client for D:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\logs\ and try it again
Also make sure that all of the default exclusions are still set:
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\*.lock
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\bprd.d\*.lock
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\bpsched.d\*.lock
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackupDB\data\*
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\misc\*
Hope this helps
