Root Difficulty completing CWM Backup (Data)

I've tried many different versions of CWM Recovery, but none seem to allow me to complete the backup process. Tonight, I've used v3.0.0.5, v3.0.1.0, MrMuffin's v3.0.1.0. However, I cannot seem to backup the "data" portion.

Here is the the final output after it stops:

SD Card space free: 4319MB
Backing up boot...
Backing up system...
Backing up data...
Can't mount /data!
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

Those last four lines also appear as soon as I access recovery. Anyone have any idea how to correct this? I'd really like to play around with a few Roms, but not until I can backup what I've currently got.
 
WOW, Android OS is soooo weird. So many times, you'll read of people saying to just reboot a few times and things will "work all the sudden". After downloading a few .zip files and rebooting, I finally got into CWM without the error scripts. And if that wasn't enough, I was even able to complete a full backup.

I'm not really going to ask any questions, but accept it for the miracle that it is. Gonna start playing around with Dual-boot a bit. I've been wanting to take a shot at HC on eMMC for a while.

I kept having boot loops until I found this: [RECOVERY] Official CWM 3.0.1.0 Update - xda-developers

Rebooting after flashing from Rom Manager was a start.

Hi I am not new to Rooting, I have an HTC EVO and I have been rooted since last July. Fairly comfortable with flashing kernals and ROMs on my phone. Still a little iffy on adb push stuff but I digress. My co worker asked me to root his wifes Nook (let the jokes commense!):D Anywho I achieved it through the Autonooter 3.0.0 (something like that) He has the latest B & N 1.1.0 software. I downloaded ROM Manager & Astro File Manager so far. I HAVE NOT flashed a recovery yet! I keep reading that before or after (can't remember which) I flash the recovery on CWM that I need to reboot(restart?). So I know how to reboot my phone but how do I reboot this Nook. Next I ASSume that I want to save the current VIRGIN root so once I flash CWM do I just proceed and create a nandroid of the current system? Second I want to be able to load adobe flash is CM7 the only one out yet that can accomplish this or are there other ROMs for the Nook that can utilize adobe flash? I have read alot but I didn't know if anyone can direct me to a link with "the most common how to's after you root the nook" post(s). Oh yeah he has an 8gb micro sd but the nook doesn't see it. I have seen different things about dual booting (emmc?) and sd card but first when I create nandroids will it ask me where to save them or will it save it automatically to the internal or external memory? He doesn't show much internal memory so thank you again everyone.

Thank you to everyone I maybe purchasing one of these depending on how this goes with my friends. Heck it's really the only affordable one with decent build quality I have seen out there.

I am having the exact same issue with my NookColor backup.
If anyone else has been able to resolve it and can document it, that would be great.

Thanks,
