Anyone else have this experience or have any idea of how to fix it?

Tried turning off and backup now with same results. In response to second question, I have never altered TM via any 3rd party software. Here is what the console said after my last attempt yesterday:

In spite of what the web site says Time Machine Buddy works fine on my 10.6 system and has done so for several months while testing TM. YMMV.

Nothing else in the log even for todays failed backups-which I thought was strange. Since I had no problem with TM Buddy I went back to that and here is the full text I got for the last failed backup today:

Was experiencing these issues exactly. Console logs indicated that Parallels (4.03846) and Aperture (2.1.4) were implicated. Checking the "Do not backup with Time Machine" in the General option of the Virtual Machine Configuration within Parallels, and excluding the Aperture Library (for better or worse) from the Time Machine backup, provided a total resolution.

I did a repair on the external drive PhotoStorage, but that didn'y fix the TM problem. Pretty sure I know what is happening now.
My external drive named PhotoStorage has a bootable backup of 10.58 on it.
