Hello everyone.
I have a problem for a customer, which is not able to mount a vmdk for backup using the vcb framework.

The VC version is 2.5.0 build 64192.
TSM version is 5.5

The last log says the following:

External command failed. See error above.
Exit Code: 1

The strange thing is that, cloning the machine and launching the script, on the clone WORKS!!!
This is really strange, does someone else had the same problem?

If you need some other info let me know.

Many thanks!!
