Wasn't related to stdin at all...

... on either 2.0.0 or 2.1.0-prealpha, the results are the same :-

# smbclient '\\d2767\c$' XXXXXX -d0 -U administrator -W d2767 -Tx /export/tmp/backup.tar ./tmp/ntconfig.POL

Added interface ip=???.???.??.?? bcast=???.???.??.??? nmask=255.255.255.0
restore tar file \tmp\ntconfig.POL of size 36864 bytes
checksums don't match 0 1514
abandoning restore, -1 from read tar header

# ls -l /export/tmp/backup.tar 
-rw-r--r--   1 abs      dev      163949056 Feb  5 09:57 /export/tmp/backup.tar

The file >is< successfully restored and the tarfile /export/tmp/backup.tar does
extract successfully without error using gnutar on the tape server.  Looks like
a bug in 2.0.0 (which happens to be propagated in 2.1.0-prealpha) so I am
reporting it to samba-bugs at samba.org.

Please let me know if I can provide any further information.
