Interesting Consolidation failure

This morning TI 2010 b5055 attempted to consolidate an archive. It wrote two small incremental files to the internal image drive and then informed me that 'The Backup Date Can't be Found'.
I suspect that this is because it is attempting to consolidate an archive that as yet doesn't require consolidating.
It is trying to consolidate an archive that started on Sunday (a full was made on that day), when the criteria is 1 full, 5 incrementals. What it should have consolidated was the previous weeks archive.
I'll see what happens the rest if this week.

Purely by chance I have managed to kick start consolidation into being, but not without another weird result.
I used a boot disk of a program that annoyingly resets the time and date of the BIOS to German time. I hadn't realised this had happened (on this occasion) and so on booting this morning I discovered my PC thought it was 7pm in the evening rather than 4:30am in the morning.
However, all my scheduled tasks of course ran, and suddenly consolidation happened. I did change the time back to the correct time whilst TI was running. An aside, TI obviously only checks the base time once per boot, as even though the PC time was now correct it ran all 4 tasks based on the incorrect boot time.
The weird result is that it has consolidated files that were already consolidated and added slices to them. In Windows Explorer all 5 consolidated archive files point to the same 4 days in October. So apart from the extra slices appearing when a file is consolidated (drive is NTFS), it is just reconsolidating the same archive over and over again.
Picture attached.
