Normally when you get this error it means that the source file changed 
during the backup.  In that case you only get it once.

Can you look at the diff between /usr/bin/pstruct and 
/mnt/backup/system/usr/bin/pstruct ?  Perhaps the problem in your case 
is that the file in the backup directory was changed.   If that's the 
case it might fix things going forward if you just fix the differences 
(copy the source file to the dest manually) but I can't reproduce the 
problem over here so I'm not positive it would work.
