samba - Sep 1997 - smbtar and long filenames

Hi, I've looked through the samba archives, and saw no messages related to
this.  Is there a way to get smbtar to tar long filenames?  When I restore
the files, they're all cut down to 8.3 format.  smbclient does see the
long filenames of an NetBui drive, why doesn't smbtar? 

Thanks.
