Error restoring empty log

I am experiencing an issue with restoring log files for a relatively inactive database. The database gets updates 3-4 times a day and the rest of the hourly log files have minimal transactions.

This is an older log, but the same error is coming across. When we delete the offending file, the restore continues without error:
SQL Backup v7.3.0.57

    SQL Backup generates a log file for each process that it runs. The default folder where the logs are stored is C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataRed GateSQL BackupLog<instance name> on Windows 2003 and older, and C:ProgramDataRed GateSQL BackupLog<instance name> on Windows Vista and newer.

    Could you please post the contents of the log file for the backup process that created the file 'LOG_(db)_2014092205.SQB'?

    Thanks.
