invalid selection found in back up script

Using SBS 2003.
Set up back up through the back up wizrad to back up over the network.But this fails.
If I clcik on back up now in Servermanagment\Back up the back up does not run.

I Opened the back up utility. manually navigated to C:\program files\Microsoft Small Business server\Backup\Small Business Backup Script.bks loaded the small business back up scipt.
Then I recieve the message
 some invalid selections found in C:\program files\Microsoft Small Business server\Backup\Small Business Backup Script.bks

I have deleted the Small Business Backup Script.bks from  C:\program files\Microsoft Small Business server\Backup\ and ran throught the Back up wizard again. But this did not resolve the issue.


I again Opened the back up utility. manually navigated to C:\program files\Microsoft Small Business server\Backup\Small Business Backup Script.bks loaded the small business back up scipt.
Then I recieve the message
 some invalid selections found in C:\program files\Microsoft Small Business server\Backup\Small Business Backup Script.bks
i click ok then I was able to carry on and back up.Manually

My question is how can I resolve the invalid selections found in the script so that it will work through the schedule set up using the back up wizard in Server Managment.

Yes you were right in the script it showed that there were no exclusions. But when I used the back up utilitty to open the back up script it showed the tick next to the C: drive was greyed out. even though there were no folders excluded on the drive.
I removed the tick next to the C: drive and then replaced the tick. This time the tick showed as blue.
I saved this as small business backup script.bks
And was able to start a back up through server managment.

Many thanks for your help
