Per the instructions above I mounted the file system using NFS to localhost
to test a work around for the XFS issue.  All we can see are files at the
root of the backup agent export but not any of the sub directories.  I also
mounted another NFS server to rule out problems with the local file system
and had the same result.  On a FC2 32 bit box running the same agent I can
backup the nfs exported directories from this server.  

This leads me to believe the client installation on 64 bit has got some
problems.  I have an open ticket with Veritas however does FC4 64 bit
support installing 32 bit support like RH3.0 64 bit does?

Thanks,
