Some things that I haven't seen mentioned yet or am not sure of:

So the files have a file code of -410 and are named <rootfilename>QR"?
What is the last access and modification dates for the files?
(Perhaps :listfile;format=-5 would be enlightening.)
What is the error message?
Are you doing an online backup?
Are they being accessed during the backup?
If so, by what application?
If not, have you tried backing them up without using online?

If they can be backed up "NOONLINE" then perhaps something like the
following RoadRunner select statements will work:

select (/ excluding (@[log in to unmask]@ where filecode=-410) online)
select (@[log in to unmask]@ where filecode=-410 noonline)

Note that the excluding has to be inside the parentheses of one select to
have local scope, otherwise it will have global scope and override the
other select too.
