Exchange 2010-Won't flush logs

I have an exchange server that recently(kind of) decided to stop flushing its log files.  For whatever reason, our Zenith BDR isn't getting a full backup of exchange.  I ran eseutil /mh & it's in a clean shutdown state, so there appears to be some other corruption.

Anyone ever come across this & what did you do to resolve it?  I'm thinking about giving the standard Server 2003 backup utility a shot & see if that flushes them.  They gotta go and fast-I'm losing disk space in a hurry.

That was actuallly my plan.  For it to be "exchange aware", the IS has to be running doesn't it?

(I'm in the middle of copying the DB & logs to a couple different places)

This is on server 2003-not looking like I have an Exchange backup option-just file level.  I've always used 3rd party backup apps for this.

Ntbackup is there-I think it's because the services are down(still copying).

VSS has to be enabled on that drive for the backup to work with Exchange.  So far, so good-I guess I'll know in the AM if it worked.
