Paul, Thanks. I reread the article twice now, and come to a different conclusion, ie case sensitive files on a Windows file system cannot be backed up with a Windows client, except for the first file alphabetically sorted.
The solution would either be disabling case sensitivity (probably not feasable) or backup the files over the network from another (*nix) node (not ideal).
