Failure on the rootvg backup on a fullsystem backup

Env:
  AIX 3.2.5
  RISC 530H
  sysback 2.2.2.3

Desc:
  Customer's sysback is either failing during the rootvg backup or
  on the user vg backup of the script with a non-zero return code.
  (return code 32)  This problem is similar to the 0512-005 problem
  with the mksysb.  The sysback at version 2 will build a find
  string | backup -i  The find string buffers up thousands of the files
  If one of the files is missing the backup will return with a code of
  32. (non fatal)

 The following modifications will need to be made to
 /usr/sbin/sysback script:

1.  cd /usr/sbin 
2.  cp sysback sysback.org
3.  vi sysback
