DSA signature is not getting updated on the Domain Controller

DC - Windows 2003 SP2
Backup Exec 11d runs on a Windows 2003 SP2

When I do a full backup of my DCs; (C drive, Utility partition, System State, Shadow Copy Components); the DSA signature is not getting updated by Backup Exec. I get the event ID 2089: "This directory partition has not been backed up since at least the following number of days".  Now, I do see all the pertinent information with regards the being able to backup & restore the DC and active directory within Backup Exec itself.

Here is the kicker ... When I do a backup of only the System State -  the DSA Signature is "updated" and all is well.

I do not want to have to have seperate jobs to run for the system state, HELP?!

There was also a thread about this over on the symantec forums  http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/11-d-system-state-backup

It looks like Backup Exec may not be using the proper method to update it during that full backup.  I wish someone from Symantec could have verified that.  I'm not 100% sure.

 Probably safe to ignore if the backups are successful but I'll keep looking around.

Thanks
