You're best bet will be to activate bpbkar(on the client side) logging on
the master server + whatever clients. Set verbose to level 5. shut down
this logging( the next day) to avoid filling up your disk drive(s).
Whatever issue you're having should be discovered in the bpbkar log.
This is a good method which will get you going in the right direction.

Yeah we've had this. If your include list is set to ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES then
try
removing the * wildcard from the exclude list as if memory serves then adding
the * invites the media server to search the filesystems.
i.e.
/dir1
