I've got a files directory backup working fine if I just use the manual option to backup to download. When that's switched to email it doesn't send it in an email. I know the email's setup properly because I can get the DB to backup to there. I get no errors, and I don't think it would be a size issue as the file size is only 126KB compressed. Any ideas or next places to look to troubleshoot?

This seems to be an issue with compression. If I select no compression the file actually emails. Unfortunately the file that it emails seems to be corrupt. It sends a .tar file that when I attempt to extract it doesn't recognize it as an archive. The same issue seems to be happening if I use compression on a database backup. With no compression the file can be opened fine, but with compression it isn't recognized as an archive. Again, this is only the case with emailed backups. Downloading them works fine.
