I reviewed my BOINC Manager Log for this time frame, and could not find this particular workunit as being completed. I do note that my final results are identical to the primary host.
Could this be a BOINC Manager problem or an issue with the Host? Thanks.

From what I can recall, it's a BOINC thing.
It tends to occur when the system is shutting down and the applications running under BOINC don't respond in what it considers to be a timely manner, so it clobbers them which leads to the WU erroring with the "finish file present too long" message.

I've had it a couple of times with my current system (which is faster than the previous one), and have just gotten in to the habit of exiting BOINC a few seconds before shutting down/restarting the system. I've not had it occur since doing that.

yeah, Raistmer comment on that earlier in the year. Here's the whole thread, you need to read all the way thru it to get to where he talks about 3 different places where results are stored and for whatever reason, there's corruption in the writing of the results and it gets trashed. Thus the error report
