Why are recovers failing with the ClientPak for Macintosh with NetWorker 6.x as the backup server?

The problem results when file sharing is enabled on the Macintosh client. If file sharing is disabled when the backup occurs then the recover should also work if file sharing is disabled.

If file sharing is enabled when the backup occurs then the privileges of all the partitions have to be set with the owner - the person specified in the File Sharing Control Panel - having "read and write" privileges copied to all files and folders in the partition during backup and recover.

If file sharing is enabled during backup and the privileges are NOT set then I'm not aware of a way for the files from that specific backup to be recovered. This seems to only apply to NetWorker 6.x. NetWorker 4.x and 5.x don't seem to have this issue.
