SMVI VMware snapshots not committing

I have been having an issue with the vmware snapshots generated by SMVI. On certain backup attempts by SMVI the VMware snapshots are never removed.  It doesn't seem to matter whether the smvi job is successful or not as I have seen it not clear snapshots in both cases.  The attached .bmp file shows the three uncleared snapshots from three different dates. The logs are from two different servers that had uncleared snaps that happened to be on the same day.  I couldn't go any earlier as the smvi logs "could not find the backup id."

What seems to be the recurring issue:

2009-08-09 = 08:02:28,244=20 INFO - FLOW-11012: Operation requested retry
2009-08-09 08:02:38,306 = INFO -=20 FLOW-11006: Starting operation in threadpool backup

This repeats for several minutes and then it looks like it just gives up.  I have most smvi backups kicking off at the same time - not sure if that could be a relevant factor.

Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
