It is actually a bit hard to duplicate the command exactly since backuppc
passes
the credentials in the environment so you don't see them in the logs or in a
ps.
There have been versions of samba that had problems parsing the backuppc
command
line but I've forgotten which ones. Is there any chance that smbclient has
been
updated on the backuppc server? And is there any difference if you force an
incremental run instead of a full?
