Error backing up Transaction Logs

This is the error I get for the database named, "NoteServe4005". I get this error for all databases whether I attempt to backup manually or automatically.
[4] Database NoteServe4005: Transaction Log Backup...
Destination: [c:\backup\NoteServe4005\NoteServe4005_tlog_200405 041500.TRN]
[Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 3241: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The media family on device 'c:\backup\NoteServe4005\NoteServe4005_tlog_200405 041500.TRN' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media fami
ly.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.
I searched support for the error pulling up only KB:297104 which says that this can happen when transaction log files exceed 4GB. However, the T-Log in this example is only 50MB. It also says the error is fixed by SP1 and I have SP3a. There's also a worka
round which involves setting the trace flag to 3111, but that didn't seem to make a difference either.
Ideas?
What is the actual backup command your using?
