Cannot backup VM's in Cluster. Receives "Source is not selected. The operation has been terminated." error

Thread needs solution

I keep getting this error when trying to backup any of the vm.'s:

"Source is not selected. The operation has been terminated"

VM Environment:

Iam runing ESX/ VSphere 4.0
I have a Cluster with 4 hosts.
The Acronis Virtual Appliance is up and runing and can see all of the Vm's in the cluster, but I cannot backup any of them to my SAN. All of the disks are set to non-persistant.

Acronis Server:

Windows 2008, 64 bit VM
Acronis Backup and Recovery 10 Virtual Edition. build 10.0.11639

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Thanks.

I had already tried the snapapi driver and that did not work.
