If a stat command is used on the file in question we will see a date of before 1970
i.e.
# stat Another+wbbs10594+log.nlg.doc
File: `Another+wbbs10594+log.nlg.doc'

Resolution
Use the touch command to modify the date a time later than 1970
i.e.
touch -d 01-may-1957 Another+wbbs10594+log.nlg.doc
The reason we see this problem is Netvault Identifies any date prior to 1970 as an invalid format. -
