You probably want to peruse this page:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/limitations.html#maximum_backup_file_sizes

In a nutshell, it appears that smbclient has a bug, but
BackupPC_tarExtract compensates for it.  I'm reading that to mean you can
recover >2G files with a tar archive, but not with smbclient.  (I'm also
reading that as not a BackupPC problem.)
