Having problems with getting vss to work, either during comparison or file transfer.

During comparison it comes up with the following message during comparison: Volume Shadow Copy creation failed. E_UNEXPECTED
During file transfer when attempting the snapshot it comes up with the following message: Volume Shadow Copy creation failed for C:\. E_UNEXPECTED. Click 'Continue' if you want to proceed with Volume Shadow Copy.
Also under View > VSS Writers List it comes up also saying VSS Writers listing failed. E_UNEXPECTED

In the log it says the following:

Initializing Volume Shadow Copy DLL ...
Creating Volume Shadow Copy for C:\ ...
Gathering writer metadata...
Initializing writer metadata...
ERROR: Win32 call "GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPointW((LPCWSTR)volumeRootPath.c_str(), WString2Buffer(volumeName), (DWORD)volumeName.length())" failed.
- GetLastError() == 1
- Error text: Incorrect function.
Volume name not found for volume mount point: \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume4\ [Volume Shadow Copy creation failed for C:\. E_UNEXPECTED. Click 'Continue' if you want to proceed without Volume Shadow Copy.]

Details about my system:
-Windows 8 Enterprise RTM (also had this fault before I completely rebuilt - was on release preview)
-Drive is an intel SSD
-Disk is in GPT mode
-UAC is off
-My user account is an administrator

Running 'vssadmin list providers' shows the following

Any ideas, I assume its windows 8 or GPT?

Just updated OS to Windows 8.1 update 1 64 bit. Am running VVpro 2.5 2513 (latest). Tired both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of VVpro.

I'm getting the Shadow copy error when trying to sync the source version of the currently open Vice Versa synchronization .tdb file.

Any help would be appreciated.

We recently upgraded to V2 to give us the long path support.
For copying files between source and target it appears to work fine.
Should the same facility work for archiving?
