Ghost 14 error 6C8F1C25: Cannot add protection. Cannot retrieve list of drives

I am running Ghost 14, ver. 14.0.4.30167 and encountered this error while setting up a file and folder backup.  Removing Ghost, rebooting and then re-installing it, including the latest update as of 22 Feb 09, did not resolve the issue, nor did an online chat with tech support.  Further experimentation resulted in the following:

1.  Setting up a new backup to set a system restore point (for an entire drive) was successful and did not result in the error msg.

2.  The error occurs if the three default folders are unchecked while adding a new folder during the job setup process.

3.  The error does not occur if the three default folders are left as checked during the job setup process and a new folder was added.   The three default folders could be successfully deleted later by returning to the backup job after it was fully set up (shown in the task list) and altering the settings (Run or Manage Backups, Edit Settings).

 
I hope this workaround will be of assistance to anyone encountering the issue.   To the best of my recollection, unchecking the three default folders while setting up a folder backup job did not result in an error prior to the initial incident on 21 Feb.
