Veritas BUE 9.1 error - Directory not found. Can not backup directory \\XXXXX. The directory is invalid

After moving a directory from one volume to another, I started getting this error saying that there was an invalid directory in my BackupExec 9.1 remote selections even though when looking at the selections, there was no such directory selected. It turns out that there is a bug in ver. 9 and 10 of Backup Exec for Windows and the note below shows the steps to fix it.

Got this from http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/207001.htm
