mkdirback is not backing up all the data



Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.1.4
  RISC J30
  sysback 4.1.1.0
  Tape 4mm tape drive

Problem:
  Doing a remote backup using the mkdirback command
  mkdirback -xf /dev/rmt0 -h modj30 /usr

  Ie does not backup all of the data, it backups nothing and 
  only puts a header on the tape then stops

  Rewinding /dev/rmt0 ...
  Generating file list ..
  Calculating file sizes ..

Backing up: /usr
   Backing up /usr to device /dev/rmt0.1
