Fixed in 1.4.5
How did you resolve the issue ? Please answer.
Well the URL was malformed anyway, it would appear. Some sort of mish-mash of Windows and unix directory delimiter conventions. If it were me, I would see this as a user configuration mistake in Wordpress.
Anyway, Mr. DeWildt says the issue is closed, so either update to the latest version or fix your mixed slash configuration.
Actually I am facing the same problem while implementing a dropbox app. So wanted help.
If it were me, I would just brute-force groom the urls entered by the user to use the unix convention? Just flip the Windows backslashes silently and confirm the new path(s) is valid. I am sure Mr. DeWildt has a more elegant solution.

Backup-to-Dropbox only copies .htaccess, Index.php, License.txt, readme.txt, robots.txt, and wp-activate.php. Then the log lists:
12:23:20: Error uploading 'C:\ApacheSites\AHPBlog\wp-admin\about.php' to Dropbox: Invalid path '/AHPBlogBackup\wp-admin': character at index 14: backslash not allowed
etc,,
and finally 12:23:49: A fatal error occured: The backup is having trouble uploading files to Dropbox, it has failed 10 times and is aborting the backup.
Add in was working until mid December 2012. I am reasonably diligent about keeping WP and add ins up to date, so cause appears to be in change from WPBU2DB 1.4. to 1.4.1 and/or WP 3.4.2 to 3.5.11
My server is Apache 2.2 running on a WinXP SP3 box, with PHP 5.3.10 cURL enabled. Chron jobs execute properly.
