My guess is that the Event store UUIDs message and the need for deep traversal are normal for a first Time Machine backup after upgrading to Snow Leopard.

Hmmm, except that prior to the first of those messages, it took 6 hours to back up 3GB. That is very very slow.
Regarding the ideas in #D2:
1. I have no anti-virus scanning software
2. The volume has been excluded from Spotlight for months
So, of the #D2 issues, only Repair Disk seems a possible culprit. But I'm disinclined to try that while it is in the middle of a backup!

We have the same problem - 2 Mac pros, the backup just slowed to a craw and stopped.
This is over FIREWIRE 800 ! - which was blazing fast before the upgrade.
I actually went so far as to partition and ERASE one Timecapsule drive altogether; no change.
There is something very wrong.
I deleted the prefs for it, setup a brandNEW backup to it - so as to not have any legacy, index or other issues, and I am at 48GB (of 768) - after 8 hours!
This is a quite new 1.5TB drive from WD; again, worked perfectly in 10.5.8.....
