The Problem
Unfortunately there were several errors occurring on our source machine. These errors originated from the MOSS content deployment.

Critical Publishing:
Content deployment job failed. Error: 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException:

This error always occurred with the same GUID. The error occurred every 15 minutes. This was actually the time the Quick Deployment Job was running. When I tried to open the history of the Quick Deployment Job, the error page below was displayed.

Then, when I was looking at the Deployment list: (<your site>/Quick Deploy Items/AllItems.aspx)

The attempts

I deleted all items, but it didn't work. Another side effect of what I did was that I couldn't test if the Quick Deployment Job worked or not, because it needed at least one item to start the task. As such, I recovered the items from the Recycling Bin.

I could not create a new path to the old location. This was because there could only be one path to one source-destination-pair. So this didn't work either.

The Solution
To fix the problem I deleted the old paths and Deployment Jobs. I created a new path and new Deployment Jobs on our server and it worked.

A downside to this solution is that I had to run a full deployment again, because all file GUIDs weren't matching. But that wasn't a big problem, because that seems to happen quite frequently with Sharepoint.
