Russell, Bankruptcy Evidence Manual, 803:12 has a great discussion.
Sounds like In re Vargas, 396 BR 511 (Bankr. C.D. Cal 2008) has this issue nailed; I don't think the declarant is even a "custodian or other qualified witness"....

Motion for Relief from Stay. Declaration of Creditor's Bankruptcy Analyst
states in reference to bank records concerning the statement of debtor's
account:
1. 1. I have gained knowledge of them from the business records of
Movant,
a. WHICH WERE MADE AT OR ABOUT THE TIME OF THE EVENTS RECORDED, AND
b. WHICH ARE MAINTAINED IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF MOVANTS BUSINESS AT
OR NEAR THE TIME OF THE ACTS, CONDITIONS OR EVENTS TO WHICH THEY RELATE.
2. Any such document was prepared IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS
OF MOVANT BY A PERSON WHO HAD PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE EVENT BEING
RECORDED AND HAD OR HAS A BUSINESS DUTY TO RECORD ACCURATELY SUCH EVENTS.
It sounds like the Bankruptcy Analyst is reading the computer screen and
copying down numbers from that computer screen into the declaration. She
has no idea about how the integrity of the database is maintained. She has
no idea who and when made these entries and whether these entries were
subsequently altered. This declaration is based on a leap of faith, not
personal knowledge.
Could anyone suggest cases on this issue?
