Hi all Many thanks for all the help with this, but it looks like converting the file systems to Unicode is the only way forward. So now I have a 500Gb backup to do, oh dear :-(

Farren - I have some familiarity with the Mac client, but was hoping that a regular user of it would have insights and post a solution. Whereas whole directories are seemingly being left out of the backup, by all means check for Excludes or ownership/permissions underlying that. Given the gross nature of the issue, pursuit should be simpler than with an insidious issue. A means of pursuing further is to perform diagnostic backups... Go into Preferences: in Diagnostics, Enable Tracing, select an output file for it, and start with Trace Flags "perform general". That will produce minimal output, where it will tell you exactly what options are in effect during the operation and what was excluded. You can escalate to more profuse trace flags as needed.
