It's makin' me crazy, I'm almost certain I've seen this before, but I 
cannot for the life of me figure out the source of my problem:

This is an NBU 3.2 (patch 226 - yeah I know it's old) Solaris master 
that is restoring from and to an NT client.

When I go to do a restore of a large directory, an alternate-path 
alternate-client restore that is, I see all the files get restored 
with no problem (and the restore exits with a status 0, "restored 
288345 out of 288345 files")

buuut those pesky NT folk :) come back to me with the following complaints:

-none of the empty directories were restored!

-none of the NTFS permissions are correct on the directories that DID 
get restored!  (although the perms are fine for the actual files that 
got restored)

I am able to verify that the empty directories did get backed up (I 
can see their entries in the 
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/$CLIENT/$DATE/$BACKUPID_FULL.f file, 
anyway)... so why am I seeing these problems?

any insight?

ps. I know that the latest jumbo patch could certainly address this 
problem (although there's no mention of these problems in the patch 
443 README)
