I think some Fedora versions had a problem like this for a while and it 
had something to do with a change in the way smbclient parses its 
argument list.  Backuppc exports the password in the environment, so you 
would have to do the same to test from the shell command line.  Can you 
install an older (or newer) version of samba/smbclient?

Smbclient also reads some settings from your /etc/samba/smb.conf that 
might affect the ability to authenticate, like the domain and password 
server.   Normally these would be set to accomodate a samba server on 
the machine if at all but they could be wrong for a client connection to 
a backup target.
