Mac/SunOS fileserver

I've got a rather difficult problem here.  We've got a Gator Box running
the NFS/AFP conversion.  We use this to hook up Macs and Suns.  With the
Sun as a AppleShare File server.  All of this works great!

Now here is the problem,  Macs are allowed to create files on the Sun/Unix
fileserver with a "/" in the filename.  This is great until you try and
restore one of these files from your "dump" tapes.  "restore" core dumps
when it runs into a file with a "/" in the filename.  As far as I can tell
the "dump" tape is fine.

Does anyone have a suggestion for getting the files off the backup tape?
