Have you specified samba user and password in

Yes, I have specified the amanda user exactly as specified for each share.
And does that user exist on the Windows-client? With proper permissions?
You have to connect using an existing windows-user, which is not
necessarily the same as the AMANDA-user that runs AMANDA on your tapeserver.
A common way of doing this is creating a user called backup on the
Windows-machines, giving this user the rights of an Administrator and
protecting it by a strong/long password.
You may check connections by using smbclient:
smbclient -U yourWINDOWSbackupuser \\\\windowsPC\\shareXY
Password:
should get you something like this (taken from my Samba-server):
Domain=[OOPSGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.13-1.1-SUSE]
smb: \>
If you can't connect like this, AMANDA can't either.
