OK, and how is the VMware tools status shown in the VI client? The product relies on the data returned by VC/ESX so could you please check it in the VI client?

abait; Can you please upgrade/reinstall VMware Tools on this guest and re-run the job to see if the VSS warning is relegated?

abait, you need to open VM in the VI client and check the line "VMware Tools" in "General" box on the "Summary" tab.
