Hello World!

Backups on my 2012 R2 Essentials Server have not completed as scheduled for about a week.  When I exclude Bare Metal Recovery and System State from backup item list the backups will complete but with warnings.  The warnings and backup failures all relate to the MSMQ service and writer.

Here are the event details for the most recent error:

I have tried the following commands (in admin CMD), all of which were successful and showed no errors/failures with any paths.

Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\filemaps /a
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps  /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps  /grant "NT Service\trustedinstaller:(F)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps  /grant "BUILTIN\Users:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps  /grant "Administrators:(RX)"
Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\* /a
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.*  /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.*  /grant "NT Service\trustedinstaller:(F)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.*  /grant "BUILTIN\Users:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.*  /grant "Administrators:(RX)"
Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /a
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames  /grant "Administrators:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /grant "NT Service\trustedinstaller:(F)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /grant "BUILTIN\Users:(RX)"

However, when I tried to execute these commands below, admin CMD prompt said "no files (or folders) found with the specified pattern."

Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames\*.* /a
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames\*.*  /grant "Administrators:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames\*.* /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames\*.* /grant "NT Service\trustedinstaller:(F)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames\*.* /grant "BUILTIN\Users:(RX)"

I have stopped/started cyptsvc, COM+ services, and VSS.

Also tried removing/adding the Message Queuing roles and features from Server Manager UI, didn't solve problem.

An error that occurs just a few seconds after the first error (above) is:

It would appear that I don't have permission to access that directory.

Any other ideas/tips are welcomed with open arms!!!
