And there you see the domain "TELESPAN" again.


The DocSetts share definitely exists and I can connect to it
using smbclient -U chris -E -W TELESPAN -c quit

disklist contains the line: bilbo.stow-jones.local
//gandalf/DocSetts nocomp-user-gnutar

amandapass contains the line (obfuscated password):
//gandalf/DocSetts chris%password TELESPAN

Seems all good.

Maybe the "password" contains some invalid characters (valid for
Windows, but not valid for the parser that parses the file above),
like a space or a percent sign?

Whatever I try, amcheck also fails when I mess up the /etc/amandapass
file.  What is the complete output of "amcheck"?
