Agreed, although I don't know that I'd use the word "culprit" yet.
It could be some horrible stuff they have to do to get along in the PC
world (never blame the Unix side when you could blame the PC :-).
The next thing I'd try is a dump directly to /dev/null with a higher
debug level and see what the tail end has to say:
$ smbclient //wiley/home -W wiley -U backup -E -d3 -Tqc - backups/2-22-01-all.bkf >
/dev/null
Level 3 is where things start getting interesting. Level 5 is throwing
a lot of stuff at you. You might want to experiment a bit with a small
file (a couple hundred KBytes).
