I also had the dreaded error 109 with my AirPort Extereme Snow Leopard Time Machine backups. I tried everything. Nothing worked for me. Finally I decided to turn off the automatic backups (this would supposedly keep the error 109 at bay).
So, I was relying on remembering to manually invoke Time Machine backups. This ended up with me having, essentially, weekly backups.
Backups need to be automatic.
Then 10.6.3 hit with this little tidbit...

(I bolded the one that sounds promising)
So, does anybody have any idea if the fix referenced in that bolded line is for the 109 errors? I've tried googling around and found nothing (except this old thread
).
For my part, I've turned the automatic backups back on. Just to see. I guess I'll know if it's fixed in a week or two, but I'd like to know now.
Why can't Apple be a little bit more detailed in their release notes?
