I don't know the semantics of NTFS encrypted files. Does reading the files via SMB simply return the encrypted contents? Some people have reported the 20000msec timeout even for non-encrypted files, possibly caused by the time required by the anti-virus SW. You could patch smbclient to increase the timeout, or try tar or rsync instead.
