backed up then deleted the entire backup mount, redid a fresh L0 dump and it
worked just fine.  Not sure what the problem was, or why it would choose to halt
almost exactly around the 2GB mark...  a quick search in google brough some 2GB
limit conversation so I figured Id better run it by the list.  Appreciate the
comments.
