I found a winexe 1.1 rpm and was able to install it on my Centos 6.5 system.
It is now backing up Windows 8.1 and older.
# wget
"http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://GRNET://synnefo/Fedora_19/i686/winexe-1.1pre_20140109-4.2.i686.rpm";
# wget
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/kalyaka/CentOS_CentOS-6/i686/samba4-libs-4.0.6-97.2.i686.rpm
# yum localinstall winexe-1.1pre_20140109-4.2.i686.rpm
samba4-libs-4.0.6-97.2.i686.rpm
# /usr/bin/winexe -V
winexe version 1.1
