Redemption Error

I have a program using Redemption RDO to access .msg files. Generally, it
works quite well, but for a few files I get an error:

-2147352567 File [file name/path] does not exist., (failed on
"GetMessageFromMsgFile")

The trouble is that the file does exist and I can open it in Outlook just
fine. I can see nothing in OutlookSpy that is strange. The only odd thing
I have noted is that the modified date for the not visible in Windows
Explorer for the files and shows as "December 30, 1899 00:00:00" in the
properties dialog.

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with these .msg files? Is it a
Redemption problem (I doubt it, but I don't really know)? Any suggestions
on how to get past this would also be appreciated. I have set up error
handling that records the problem and moves on, but would prefer to be able
to process the files.

How was the MSG file created?

It was created with a product called Discovery Attender, which creates a
database of e-mail information from PST files and then will create MSG files
out of the PSTs on request. (Some selection can be done, if desired before
the MSG creation.) (I know I could generate all this myself with
Redemption, but generally Discovery Attender works well and saves me a lot
of coding.)

There are about 50 files like this out of some 170,000 MSG files all created
from PSTs the same way. Only the 50 have this problem.

I have written some code that catches these problem files and skips them
with a list generated, but I trying to understand why Redemption cannot open
them.

Redemption checks whether the file exists by retrieving the last write time
on the file (this way it does not have to be opened). The function defaults
to 0 (which is December 30, 1899 00:00:00) if the file does not exist...
Send me an e-mail so I can send you a version with a fix.
