Time Machine doesn't ever finish backing up.
This is happening on my new MacBook Pro running 10.6.2
It's backing up on a Time Capsule version 7.4.2 with an almost full 1TB disk.

The only thing that looks a little suspicious is the negative bytes to copy. Has anyone seen that before?
My MacBook Pro replaced a PowerBook G4 that bit the dust. I usually don't use migration assistant and I usually just copy the files that I want, but I did this time I did use migration assistant (only because I was able to get the PowerBook to boot far enough to let migration assistant get to the files. Usually my PowerBook gets the black screen that says (I'm paraphrasing) "Something bad happened and your system was halted, hold down the power key and reboot".
Is it possible that my use of the migration assistant is causing problems with Time Machine/Capsule?

I have DiskWarrior version 4.1. Should I run DiskWarrior on the drive? or just boot from the Apple CD and run Disk Utility from the CD?
This time when the backup ran, it was stuck with these messages in the log:
Waiting for index to be ready (100)
