Backslashes on a shell command line have to be quoted.
Either the way you did, doubling each backslash, or by
enclosing the string in single quotes (ex.  '\\gandalf\gandalfc')


Or using the forward slash notation, as described in the manpage for
smbclient eg:

$ smbclient //gandalf/gandalfc -U chris -E -W GANDALF -c quit

Yep, smbclient also understands that ...

I am looking forward to a more complete integration of Samba/smbclient into AMANDA. This will add quite a few users to this mailing-list, making it another "dorkgroup" ;-)

Greets, Stefan.
