Finder Error at Shutdown?

This G4 is really taxing my patience.  I've posted another thread about the dying hard drive which was replaced.  It's running OS 8.6 on a new hard drive, and seems to be just fine, except when its backup is completed at night, and the backup script tries to shut it down. To elaborate a little, I have another G4 running OS 9 set up as a backup server. We use Retrospect to back up all 4 of our PPCs.  All of the backup "clients" are running 8.6.  Each client machine has a control panel that is set to shut the PPC down after Retrospect completes its backup.  For the last 2 days, we have been coming in to a bomb and the message that the Finder has quit due to an error Type 10. It restarts perfectly, and then runs normally.  I replaced the Finder preferences already.  Any ideas?
