I've only struck something like this once - quite a while ago, but since
noone else is offering I suggest you make a new shell of the database, then
pump the data to it after making another file (5 in total)
I assume that connecting to the databse is still ok and it's just gbak which
has a problem..?
I assume also that you have made sure your version of gbak matches the
server version? and that you have tried RC7 for the exercise?
