Right, sorry for the confusion.  freebcp works as you mention below with
TDSVER 7.0... regardless of where the version is set.  In my situation, I
had made a typo in freetds.conf and when I ran tsql (for testing) it
defaulted to 4.2.  It's fixed now.

Really?  If that's true it's a bug.  

freebcp needs TDS version 7.0+ to work with Microsoft servers.  More
precisely, FreeTDS doesn't have a working bcp implementation for TDS version
4.2, regardless of server vendor. But just how the TDS version gets set
shouldn't matter.
