That's the main log file.  You might find more info in the per-host log.  Also, 
is the XP home version?  I think it uses something called 'simple file sharing' 
that you can't turn off like you can in other versions and which doesn't allow 
passwords per connection.  I don't have any experience with that but maybe 
someone else can help.  Can you connect from the linux box with smbclient?

It might be easier to install cwrsync or deltacopy (packaged rsysnc programs) 
than to fight with file sharing authentication.
