[Networker] Backing up Filer via NFS from CentOS 5 x86_64 client

I'm switching to a new Networker server in our environment which will berunning on a CentOS 5 x86_64 server. I've installed Networker 7.4sp1(a.k.a. 7.4.1) Everything is working great so far.

I have one old Netapp Filer that I had been backing up via a crossovercable between the Networker server and the Filer, and mounting the NFSvolume on the Networker server. I back up the nightly.0 snapshotspecifically, by having the path to the snapshot in the save set list.

I moved the crossover to the new server, and mounted the volume.However, when it backs it up, its not backing up everything - in fact,its quite weird.

It seems that it will only go down two directory levels, and it treatsALL objects as directories! That is, if I've got a file in.snapshot/nightly.0/foo called "bar", "bar" is backed up as a directory,not a file! In recover I can actually cd to it.

This MAY be a problem with NFS, although normal access seems to workfine - I can get to all the files. However, one difference I've notedbetween this and an (much) older Linux system that also mounts the samevolume is that when I do a "df ." inside the .snapshot volume, I don'tget the statistics on the mounted volume as expected - I get thestatistics on the snapshot volume - which is NOT the case in similarsetups I have with the older Linux host (old debian version, not surewhich, i686), or another setup I have (running Red Hat EL4 i686).

In fact, all the proper access seems to work via the older client, butthat requires the traffic to run over the network twice - which was allsupposed to be eliminated by the direct crossover... :(

Anyone else run into this? I don't know if its a Networker client issue(running the 7.4.1 client as required since its the server), an x86_64issue, or a CentOS 5 issue right now...checking other systems that mightallow me to narrow it down...
