Sounds like some kind of networking problem. What happens if you try to
ftp a reasonbly sized (10's of MBytes) file from the client to /dev/null
on the server?
Is there any indication the client backup is making progress, e.g. if
you run lsof on gtar? What about on the server? Is the tape moving?
Does "lsof -o" say taper is getting any data?
