Tim -- I haven't seen this complaint in recent times from other users so I don't think it's a very common problem. What I conclude from that is there is something uncommon about your situation that is causing it to hang. Unless someone else has seen the same problem the rest of us with working systems have a hard time figuring out what might be wrong with yours.
I assume your system did work at one time. One approach is to try to backtrack to where it does work and see what broke it. Otherwise, I would suggest the old "divide and conquer" approach to troublshooting. Start reducing the size of the backup or try to back up a different client, or something. Try to back up a small test directory from the server itself, as suggested in the manual. Find something that DOES work. If you find something that does work, then try to close the gap between what does work and what doesn't: Try something halfway between and see if that works. Keep dividing the gap between what works and what doesn't. Try to get to a point where there is only a single configuration difference between what works and what doesn't. When you've narrowed it down like that you will probably know enough about the problem to fix it, or at least have a good start at it. Hope this helps.
