Well, if one of these boxes ever drops in my lap (and I have time),
I guess I can take a look at debugging this. Other than that ...

You don't have to move all compression to the server, just the MacOS one.
If they all share a common dumptype, create a new one that inherits
and alters:
define dumptype normal {
# This dumptype is used by everything except MacOS
...
}
define dumptype normal-server-compress {
# Used for MacOS where client side compression is very slow
normal
compress server fast
}
Then change disklist to reference the special dumptype for the MacOS
system.
