I have researched this to the best of my ability and I'm still coming up against some trouble. Let me thank everyone upfront for your help. I'll detail the situation as best as I can. If I miss anything I'm more than happy to go back and get the information and fill in any blanks I've left.
BuExec 2010 running on x32 Win Server
3 Node Exchange Cluster running on x64 Win 2008
To my understanding the Storage group lives on the F drive (which is an iSCSI Dell Equalogic San)
I have Daily Differential backups that fail. They don't always fail. The errors from BuExec are:
Backup- \\Server.domain.local\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group
V-79-57344-65247 - A failure occurred reading an object.
V-79-57344-65247 - A failure occurred reading an object.
I find the following in the Windows Applications logs on the primary Exchange Server:
(from Earliset to Latest)

Instance 2: The physical consistency check successfully validated 32551870 out of 36739664 pages of database '\\?\Volume{098ec783-909e-11e2-bb4a-00219b924b0b}\Mailbox\StorageGroups\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database.edb'. Because some database pages were either not validated or failed validation, the consistency check has been considered unsuccessful.
