Hi cmec:
It means that a process is using this file, and the backup program is blocked from reading it.
I would not worry much about it.

It means the file was in use at the time of the backup.  BE has skipped over the file as it was unable to lock it long enough to back it up.  

The folder in question, I believe is related to SUS/WUS.  Since BE couldn't gain exclusive access to the folder, it doesn't back it up.  

Do you have the Open File Option in BE?

Hmm - so the first comment from Dabas didn't assist at all?
