You need at least 4.5 FP 6 for Linux files over 2 GB.
We had to  wait for  that specific version because of the same problem.

4.5 FP 7 is the current version, 
but it introduces a problem of having the Media servers send spurious VMD error 
notices.
That is supposed to be fixed in 4.5 FP 8 in January.

Netbackup client support for linux with large files
didn't come until the 4.5 client with a specific
feature pack I believe.  I think it was FP3 or FP6.

In the client matrix on veritas' site they have a
specific note for linux saying that only a specific
version and higher supports large files.
