It turns out there's an easy fix to that, use the -l option.

  ncftpls -F -t 30 -u srvbck -l ftp://192.168.1.10/array1/homebck0/

gives a long listing.  I just need to parse the list returned, but
that's not too bad as long as everyone's compatible.  The best answer
may be to use the -l option first, if we get anything back then do the
default -1 option to get the list, thereby ignoring ls differences.

I'll put a note into Mike to see if there's a better way.  This has
become a real nuisance for all.
