I have seen similar problems with data collection in MetaStock.
Here is what I do to work around the problem:
1. delete all data in "c:\metastock data\DataOnDemand Cache"(use the
downloader)
2. copy all data from your realtime directory into the "DataOnDemand"
directory
3. write an exploration that loads 500 bars and run it in the "DataOn
Demand" directory . 500 is a little more than 1 days of 1-min bars. If
you use tick data, you will have to use a different number than 500.
4. Merge the "DataOnDemand" directory with the real-time directory.
Obviouly if your only interested in one security (ESZ0 eg.) you can
just do the above for that one security.
Hope this helps
