a SEP related file causing issues with nightly backups. What is this?

This issue has been solved. See solution.
I'm getting an exception in my backup logs pretty regularly, and from different servers:
Backup- \\Server.domain.com\System?State VSS Snapshot warning. File c:\program files (x86)\symantec\symantec endpoint protection\smclu\setup\smcinst.exe is not present on the snapshot.
Based on the path and file name, this appears to be a SEP file, somehow related to liveupdate. Is this a file that is downloaded and then deleted shortly thereafter?
