I've seen cases where it was disk corruption that causes that error
from smbclient.  See below.

I'm not saying your disk is corrupted, but if the error goes away
after running windows ckhdsk then that's more solid evidence that
you did have a problem.

If your disk is ok there is no downside to doing the error check.
