Which CWM are you presently using, did you rename the files possibly? Also, you could try installing a new CWM through hboot and see if that works.

I would try reflashing cwm thru hboot. Also if you just recently updated cwm, older cwm backups do not work with the 5.x.x.x version and vice versa. Also i would copy everything from your sdcard to your pc then format the sdcard fat32 with windows, then copy your files back to the sdcard and try again.

redid cwm through hboot, same issues. even reflashed the rom, backed it up, cleared in cwm again and tried the fresh nand. error while checking md5 sums. never moved any of them, never renamed. its pointless to even try cause i have to reload the rom everytime my phone turns off or needs reset...
any other ideas?

Mabey try flashing amon ra recovery and see if that will work for you. I know cwm 3.0.0.8's backups are compatible with amon ra.

Greyed out in what rom manager?
If you are using rom manager, go in to its preferences and make sure erase recovery is checked. Although it is not reccomended to flash things thru rm.
You can just flash it thru hboot http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/AmonRA_3.02/
