Backup error, think I'm worrying for nothing

Autonooted 1.1. Running CWR 3.0.1.0

boot into CWR and backup yields the following:

SD Card space free: 150xx
Backing up boot...
Backing up system...
Can't mount /system!

Now, every time i try it again (of course hoping a reboot fixed it) the free card space does go down by about 7MB. Is this thing backing up? Should I check before moving onto next steps?

thanks!

Go back into the Rom Manager and flash CWR only pick Nook Color (old) instead of the one you picked or if you had picked Nook Color (old) then pick the other one, then try it again. I know it doesn't sound all that technical, but it worked for me and many others.

I had the dame problem until I flashed cwm into Nook Color. The Nook Color (old) didn't work.

Verify that it worked. I've had issues with the backup not generating an md5 sum. I'm using the Nook Color version, so I'm going to try the Nook color (old) and see if it fixed that issue.

Any chance you folks can post your system version, rom manager version, cwr version - plus state the issue and fix you did? I'm trying to figure out why one version works for some and not others.

And when you flashed recovery from RM, and selected 'Nook Color' you received a 'can't mount /system error' when trying to create a backup, correct? But flashing recovery with 'nook color (old)' worked fine?

Yes, the first time I picked "Nook Color", when trying to backup it said can't find /system. After reflashing and picking "Nook Color Old" it worked fine.
