cifs and smbfs are filesystems (in fact kernel-modules), they are not
used by smbclient, which is used by AMANDA.

These would only affect you if you mount Windows-shares via smbfs or
cifs and dump them via dump or tar.

Without further knowledge I would also think this.

Jonathan, has anything changed in the smb.conf of that machine?
Maybe the update-procedure has modified this file.

Also the contents of /var/log/samba might tell you more.
