Problems with File History

I am trying to set up my File History on a new PC and I am getting the following events:

Warning - Unusual condition was encountered during scanning user libraries for changes and performing backup of modified files for configuration (then gives file path)

Warning - Directory was not backed up because it is a reparse point: (gives file path for a net cache)

Error - File was not backed up due to an error: (file path leading to a temporary file wct6AB7.tmp. )

Several errors because of system volume information.

These appear to be keeping my back up from establishing.  When I go to a specific folder history it says it cannot be found.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
