The first problem is the timeout. That could be due to anti-virus SW that completely checks a file (or directory) before you can open the file. You can increase the timeout but you need to recompile smbclient. The second problem is a 32-bit roll-over bug in smbclient that only happens after you get the "Didn't get entire file" error when smbclient tries to pad the tar file. A bug and fix are filed on samba's bugzilla, but I doubt the fix has been applied yet.
