If we type: smbclient //server/share -TcF backup.tar filelist the backup is written to the file **filelist**, not to the backup.tar.
Created attachment 1671 [details] clitar -F option processing fix. Processing -F option caused tar_parseargs() to use the file containing list of items to also be the tarball file.
The patch missed one extra neccessary fix. Check SAMBA_3_0 rev 13535 for details. Jeremy.
