Invalid argument to date encode"

I am using Version 5.17 build 3446.

While synchronizing a directory in the GUI Window or batch mode I receive "Invalid argument to date encode" This aborts the job thus ruining my backup.

This is a simple job.

Do you have any advice for a novice?

Here is my script file used in batch mode run by calling batch file:

"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" /script="C:\Program Files\Pace-Bkup\pace-bkup.txt"

pace-bkup.txt

open pace-bkup
option confirm off
option reconnecttime 30
option batch continue
#option echo off

#/xmllog "C:\Program Files\Pace-Bkup"

synchronize remote Y:\ /pace-bkup/$(Backup_Executive) -criteria=either -transfer=automatic
synchronize remote Q:\ /pace-bkup/$(Backup_Quickbooks) -criteria=either -transfer=automatic
synchronize remote Z:\ /pace-bkup/$(Backup_WIP) -criteria=either -transfer=automatic

close

I have found that there are files with a "Date Created" but have no "Date-Modified".
These are the files causing the error.

I have attached the log file

Thanks

Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a debug version of WinSCP to track the problem? Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

The full error message that I receive:
Invalid argument to date encode [35428-136-220 00:00:160.160]

I'm able to upload many files to my server during the same session, but there is one collection of files which triggers this error. I found an older report here that suggested changing the Windows timezone and then back, but that didn't resolve the issue. Please help!
