Hi Jesús,

I don't know if I can answer your questions but I do see some things
that may help you out.

Ok, well I can't really offer any advice on that part.  I think you'd
have to check the logs in /tmp/amanda on mordor.neuvomundo.es for more
clues.  I understand with the above approach you are mounting the drive
and then including it in your backup just like any other *nix disk.

It's not clear to me if "pijos" is the username or the password, but I
am guessing that is the password.  With that assumption in mind, I
believe you need to include the username in your amandapass file.
 (ie. //josan/nem    username%pijos)

I have been struggling with the smbclient setup today and just happened
to see this.  I hope it helps you!
