The bottom line is that we DO NOT know the conditions under which this error
occurred.

That said, if you open the .manifest file for the backup and replace the bad
hash with the hash reported in the error message for this volume, it should
allow you to continue.  Be sure to not change the format of the file in any
way.

Be sure to make a backup of the .manifest file before doing this!

Let me know how it goes.
