There was a COM failure 0x80070005 - .\HoboCopy.cpp (169)

I understand that the failure code 0x80070005 apparently means access denied.
I have found a couple sites that I think might be pertinent:
http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/Development/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.kernel/2007-09/msg00235.html
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387705.aspx

I am running Windows XP SP3.
Both "Volume Shadow Copy" and "MS Software Shadow Copy Provider" services have been manually turned on.
I run as a local administrator, but on a company domain and some security settings on my machine profile might have recently been changed.

Directory names have been changed to protect the innocent :)

Thanks for the feedback. No one is doing active development on Hobocopy at this time, so I'm not sure when/if this bug will get fixed.
