It seems as though the physical file "ZGMAAAAA" in your VSS repo 
describes a project (folder) at one point then a file at another point. 
I think that's actually my first time seeing that error! Hopefully it is 
an isolated incident of corruption in your repository.

At any rate, the script should not consider such an error fatal; I just 
checked in a change to fix this. If you want us to investigate further 
on your particular case, then run ssphys.exe on the file data\z\zgmaaaaa 
in your VSS repository and capture the output. Then look at the 
<ItemInfo> element in the output and find its member <ParentPhys>, and 
run ssphys.exe on the physical file mentioned there also, then send both 
outputs.
