Resolution
WORKAROUND
Rename file prn.vbs in order to avoid usage reserved names. See some information about renaming such files http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320081.STATUS
This is issue is considered as minor bug in Recovery Manager for AD. When facing similar issue RMAD should skip bad file. Backup of whole SYSVOL should not be cancelled. This bug will be considered for fixing in one of future maintenance releases.
