I think I have figured this out. The 466 GB image creation finished then I was able to mount that image. Using Midnight Commander I am copying data from the image to the cifs mount point I originally created. This is pretty slow but it ends up with my customers music on a Windows hard drive and I know what to do with that. There was probably a better way but for now I have a new tool.
