He's trying to run the master server and likely also the media server 
on FreeBSD, not just the client.  He could (and should) run the native 
FreeBSD client even though he would be running the servers under Linux 
emulation on the same machine.  I'd be interested in knowing how this 
turns out, as I'm currently running the master and media servers under 
Windows 2000 to back up various Windows and FreeBSD servers.
