As you already noticed, these are all samba errors.
Amanda just informs you what samba flagged.
For more information ask a samba specialist.

While it is possible to use smbmount + gtar, I would not advice
doing that.
One of the problems is that each time you mount with smbmount, the modification time of each file seems changed (because smbmount has
to simulate a ctime that has no meaning on a Windows machine).  This
results in incrementals being as large as full backups.
At least it was like this last time I tried it (many years ago).
