Transient network issue or a firewall.  The Client is claiming that the 
BackupPC server sent a TCP reset.  The three and a half hour gap between 
log entries is interesting.  Did the backup not encounter any more long 
filenames in that time, or did it get hung up on something...  More 
verbose logging might help determine that.

This message is just an indication that the data stream was interrupted 
in the middle.
