That's a bug in the other direction (restoring large files).
Your bug is padding large locked files when creating an
archive).

You should download the latest source for samba, and edit
samba-3.X.X/source/client/clitar.c so that this line:
static int padit(char *buf, int bufsize, int padsize)
instead reads:
static int padit(char *buf, int bufsize, SMB_BIG_UINT padsize)
Then you should be able to run configure and make, then use
the resulting smbclient executable.
I haven't tested this fix, but it should be correct.
