I've never tried.  If I find some time, I'll try and do some  
regressions against old versions, though I still find it interesting  
that 1.0 works fine.

Yes, that worked fine.

Not from what I can tell, but playing around, I was able to run the  
same command, against the same file store, just mounted over SMB.   
Also, it looks like I can run the same command, against a different  
file store that's mounted via AFP.  I'll keep poking around and let  
you know if I find anything.

One a side note, what's the "best practice" for backing up mac  
clients, mounting the file system, or backing up over ssh?

Thanks for your help
