The Mac filesystem still has some bugs in it and Time Machine seems to
hit them on older backups. Use Disk Utility to check for corruption.

Actually, you are correct about the bugs. I erased the disk then set up
time machine again and then ran disk utility. It found several flags
that were incorrect and some file name errors. When those were corrected
back ups are now in place with Time Machine. But that says there are
errors in copying by Time Machine as no such errors were present on the
original I-Mac.
