GWDVA restarting after migration

Question

Last weekend I migrated my 7.0.3 HP2 system from Netware 5.1 to OES 6.5 SP8 on Netware. I used the migration tool to move all the data over and did fresh installs of all of the GW agents. Everything seems to be OK except for 2 things.
The first seems cosmetic but tsafsgw does not display my WPGATE folder under the [DOM] on my backup server. It displays the WPCS, WPOFFICE, and WPTEMP folders instead. I can still back it up but I have to use OFM instead of TSA. (Backup Exec) GWTSA on 5.1 had been working fine.
The second issue is then caused by OFM. When the snapshot is made of the SYS pool for backup and the virtual pool is activated, GWDVA unloads and reloads. I am using NSS volumes vs. the traditional volumes I had on 5.1 so I am not sure if this is normal behavior or not but I am guessing it is not.
If I understand all of this correctly, if I can fix the TSA issue, I would not need to use OFM which would eliminate the second issue.
I do have the post SP8 NSS patch on but wanted to let the system run a little on the new box/OS before applying 7.0.3 HP3. I thought about using HP3 when re-installing but didn't want to mix up any potential issues.
I have been doing a lot of research on both of these issues all week and really haven't found anything helpful. Any help would be appreciated.

So far I have determined that it is not the snapshot process that is killing gwdva but the backup process itself. After turning on every related diagnostic log I could find, it appears to be crashing during the backup process itself. All related logs show no errors at all, just that the gwdva is shutting down and restarting. The backup logs show nothing abnormal. The only evidence is on the main console where I had the following messages:
8-17-2009 9:27:56 pm: SERVER-5.70-2713 [nmID=D0003]
Module did not release 1 resource

These also came up in an old 2006 post with no real solution, but just that it was happening when trying to shut webaccess down with F7.

Given the fact that it was happening during the backup itself, I decided to have the backup NOT backup the GWDVA.DIR folder and the backup ran fine and gwdva did not restart. I am going to try to narrow down exactly which subfolder/file(s) seem to cause this and will post the results.
