ANSWER(sort of?)

No-one could tell me the reason for the errors and whether or not it is a serious error

Thanks to Steve Belcher (steveb@bluestone.com) who wrote:
If you have a maintenance contract with Sun you are going to have to
create a service call
and request the patch. Sun will then make the patch available for a
couple of days on
Sunsolve's web site.

I also found a message on the legato mailing list from Robert M Blake

>>>>> "Robert M. Blake" <rmb@cigna.e-mail.com> posted to the networker list:

Just to let everyone know that if you're running Sun Solstice
Backup 5.0.1 (aka Legato 5) and are having the nightmares I
was running on both Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6, you need Sun patch
105658-03 (aka Legato patch 9 I believe). This patch does not
exist for the general public so you've got to call 1-800-usa-4-sun
first.

It will exist for a short time via ftp at sunsolve1.sun.com in the
/cores directory as 105658-03.tar.Z. You will not be able to see the
file but you can retrieve it. It's 35+ megs so fire up the T1.

This seemed to fix a ton of probs from upgrading indices from
4.2.6 to fixing lots of SparcStorage Library 8400 problems.

I haven't yet logged a service call, because the error we get doesn't appear to be serious,
and I don't know if it is worth my while to download a 35+ meg patch for it.
