Volume Shadow Service Error

I have just installed a new version of Windows XP and I'm having trouble mirroring it to a separate disk. When I try to do so I get an error trying to copy a file within the \Windows\Registration folder, a .crmlog file with a name comprising two long alpha numerics within curly brackets {....} {.....}. I am using VVPro 2015 but I have tried VVpro 2504 with the same result. On trying to mirror the drive, using the Shadow Copy Service I get the error

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPointW( \\?\Volume{a9806cc0-aa31-11e0-ae31-001d7d90155f}\, ...). hr = 0x80070003.

And it will not copy. Curiously if I run the backup a second time it seems to work without any problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Further to my original post, here is the entry from the output window
