Update. After attaching a USB drive, we received the same errors.

I note that tar.gz files were created, and they appear to be sizable. 
CMU reports "We exported 8 vsites, 39 users, 0 lists".

So what I am guessing at this point is that it's not a problem of CMU 
writing the files, but reading the site/user files.   Obviously, that's 
troubling.   Short of restoring the CMU files onto a fresh system, is 
there any way to know if the integrity is any good?
