Cannot backup before rooting (using Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.3) 0MB backup files

[hillstrubl]

I'm having a weird problem before I try to root using the Nexus root toolkit v.1.5.3
I've configured the drivers as per this post -> Installing ADB & Fastboot Drivers for Galaxy Nexus using Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit and tried to create a few different types of backups before I dive into the rooting process itself. I really only care about the pictures/media as everything else is either sync'ed with google or I can redownload through the app store(s). The lack of a physical SD card in this phone (or a mass storage option) is making this difficult... I've tried using the Nexus Root toolkit a few different ways but it keeps creating 0MB files/folders when I have about 11Gigs of media on this device. Short of using something like airdroid is there a way to pull all the media from this semi-easily?
Thanks in advance for your help.
