Sorry, I missed the command line in the first message.  The client machine
name is mixed case of the form 'HOSTname'.  I believe that I read in the
documentation that it should be all lower case.  I know it works in lower
case when logging in via ssh.  The shares that I want to backup are in all
CAPS of the form 'SHARENAME'. In the following listing of the terminal
session, all names have been replaced with substitutes representing the
capitalization used:

SHARE1 (/dev/sdb6) and SHARE2 (/dev/sdb5) are the client shares I want
BackupPC to handle.  I have been studying LVM and considering a rework of my
disk management.  

[root@SMBServer etc]# df -h

The following is a session between my windows server to the Archiver unit.
It works just as well in reverse.

[ken@HOSTname ~]$ ssh archiver

[ken@ARCHiver ~]$ cd /media/ARCHIVE2

Since my mail is handled on my WinXP workstation, I am using my samba setup
to get the data here.  This should prove that the windows networking is
fine.

Great, but the above command will get backuppc to run the various
commands that it would normally run during a backup. This will allow you
to see the exact commands being run, and any error messages from those
programs.
