Backup failed: Operating system error 112(error not found).

Hi,
I keep getting this error message for a trans.log backup.
Operating system error
112(error not found).
The disk has about 6GB space free, and the backup should only take up
about 550 MB, so I would think it is not space related but...
The disk is NTFS.
Any ideas?

... but NET HELPMSG 112 says

There is not enough space on the disk.

Not many. I would perform all sorts of sanity checks that you are looking
on the right disk, that the transaction log is small as you believe it
to be etc.
