Simply get your WM5 version in the WIKI section and run it. That is all you have to do!
I asume you had CINGULAR WM5 and upgraded to AT&T WM6? Here you can find all shipped versions WM5: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades and here all WM6: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
Just pick yours!

Its been awhile since I've used spb backup, but I thought that there as an option to selectively restore files. Have you tried this?

Latest AT&T WM5 rom is avilable direct from HTC... just download it and flash away... Puts you right back to latest shipped settings.

What are you trying to recover though?

I had this once too!
If you grab the official AT&T WM5 ROM from the WIKI this error will not appear!
Another workaround: extract the nbh file from your downloaded WM5 and flash it with CUSTOMRUU
