(moderation:
Why do so many WUs end with "Client Error"? My last two 35,000 sec. WUs got this message after reaching 100%: "Unrecoverable error for result [...] (The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3) - exit code 3 (0x3))"
I looked around and many other people's work is being lost (apparently) after the whole WU runs, too.

I see a strange message from the BOINC core client:
The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3) - exit code 3 (0x3)
I'm not sure what this means -- it's new to me!

I think this was mentioned in one of the other projects boards. If I remember correctly this happend when BOINC had projects suspended in memory while the defrager was running. Or one of the cleanup utilities sees BOINC working files as lost fragments when suspended in memory.

Again! This one took about 10 hours to reach 100%, then ran for another 17 hours(!) before producing the same message.

Are the "cleanup utilities" something within BOINC, or something that's interfering with BOINC?

Other things interfering with BOINC. I've set my defrag software to ignore the entire Boinc directory, as I found it tended to cause errors. Other cleaning software (whatever brandname you want) may see some of the boinc files as being tasty and eat them.
