DPM 2007 Agent failing to protect Windows Vista SP1

I recently modifed my DPM 2007 installation to backup my local users folder on Windows Vista Ultimate x64. This would not work and kept producing the following event logs when I attemted to manually sync the share:
Log Name:      Application

Event ID:      1000
Task Category: (100)

Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      Cartman2.thefoleyhouse.co.uk

You have to create the following DWORD registry key with a value of 1:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel\obcaseinsensitive
