VSS is a pain in the ass, but if you're stuck with it here's a tip for working with the journal. When setting up the journal file on the server, don't browse the local drives as in e:\SCM\Content\journal.txt. When you access VSS from a workstation, it will try to find a local e:\SCM\Content\journal.txt. Instead, always use a UNC path such as \\SCMSRV\Content\Journal.txt. Incidentally, I've gotten best results with 8.3 filenames.
