Backup doesn't finish if one client is not located?

[karma]

Recently, I've started having a problem where my automated backup scripts will seem to just stop executing when a client is offline.

 

This Windows XP Client is #4 in a list of 5 consecutive scripts that run every night. This machine is not used that much, and is sometimes turned off.

 

Normally, the script would try to run for this client, you would get the expected errors, and then script #5 would still execute after it, upon which the log would show that everything was done.

 

Here is a previous log entry showing the missing client #4, followed by the successful running of script #5 (House 101):

=========================================================

 

Last night, however, and several other times, it simply stops after trying to run script #4 and never executes script #5.

 

Any ideas? Thanks for your time.
