Smbclient will default to reading smb.conf from the standard location,
but you could override that by adding '-s /path/to/your/smb.conf'  to
the SmbClient related commands.

I'm missing something here.   The smb config has nothing to do with
rsync based xfers.    Does the xfer log show any files copied?   Maybe
the box is just very slow at compressing files and was not finished
when the (configurable) timeout happened.
