cjoseph,
I am sorry for my stupidity but your first post stated:
In the flashbackup.tar file, "webcert" needs to be a folder, and not a file. That is why you are getting the error message
So i went into my known good backup and i see it as the webcert folder with 3 files in it
the latest backup taken from where i cant get into the webui had webcert as a file so i deleted it, reported as successful and so i reloaded but still get the error
I guess i will just have to learn everything from the command line (lol) as i dont have a support contract for this since i purchased it off of ebay for learning
I really appreciate the help
