Hi, Tom Murphy,

Exactly the same problem here.

Still using Amanda 2.4.2p2 on my customers server (Suse 8.0).
Thought about upgrading to 2.4.4 but that doesnŽt seem to make sense
regarding your mail.

I updated to Samba 2.2.8 today, only changed the error message to
the one you mentioned.

Before that it was something like

? SUCCESS - 0 opening remote file ...

(using Samba 2.2.3)

I googled for both messages and only found vague hints to doing a
chkdsk on the windows share. I mailed my customer to do so tomorrow,
weŽll see.

The amanda-users will direct you to samba-users if they havenŽt done
yet ...

ItŽs a samba-problem AFAIK.

Please let me know if you find out something useful.
