Without the top lines of the log I can't be sure, but are you running OS 10.5.n, Leopard? If so, that is probably your problem. Smart Update doesn't function properly under Leopard. Shirt-Pocket is preparing a Leopard update to S/D.

If NOT Leopard, what OS and what Mac?

This generally indicates that your destination drive is failing, Rob...
