I think you've eliminated the remote and local filesystems and said you
have no problem backing up via smb or backing up local files.

I find it interesting that the client file path is being cut off ~= 100
characters.

echo
/fhome/fmike/fwerk/fsystem/fTransformer/fandroid-sdk-linux/fadd-ons/faddon-google_tv_addon-google_inc_-12/fi
| sed -e 's/\/f/\//g' | wc
      1       1     100

Some old versions of gnu tar had 100-character filename limits. How old is
the version of tar on the problematic client?
