Craig I switched back to rsync, as I found the issue, it wasn't
backuppc's client timeout I needed to change, but I totally forgot about
the host's rsync timeout, after increasing that, everything is working
like a champ!!! Thanks for reply!

What version of BackupPC and smbclient are you using?  Earlier versions
of both have problems with large files.
