Can you do the following:

  - Look in the RestoreLOG file.  Are the "missing" files listed?
    Are there any errors?

  - On the restore target, does the empty directory have
    permissions/ACLs that would prevent writing of files?
    This is probably the most likely explanation I can
    think of.

  - If the missing files are not in the RestoreLOG file, what
    happens if you run:

        BackupPC_tarCreate -h HOST -s SHARE -n -1 / | tar -tvf -

    Do you see the missing files listed?

Has anyone seen this with rsync/rsyncd, or is it just SMB?
