Error 10038 - Software Distribution Paused

On one machine, I'm getting error 10038
"The program for advertisement "S0xxxxxx" has not been run yet ("S0yyyyyy" - "App - Install"). Software Distribution is currently paused on this computer, and it has to be resumed before this program can begin."
This is for all apps that should be run, mandatory and optional.
Matching error in execmgr.log file is "This program cannot run because a reboot is in progess or software distribution is paused."

Cause? Well, user inadvertantly ran a USMT capture TS the other day, which has a shutdown command at the end. Always works fine, normally. However, suspect but cannot confirm that user 'interfered' with the shutdown process, as they would have been seeing whole thing happen and probably not been happy about the shutdown as they were trying to work. (Let's not get into why users will blindly click on anything that pops up in their in-tray!)

Since then, no other adverts will run. Machine has been restarted several times.

So, how do I tell the client that it should unpause Software Distribution because there really is no restart or TS in progress anymore?

I have searched online, but there are almost no pages found relating to this error.

(NB: Client is Vista SP1, Site is SCCM SP1 with R2.)
