Taking the $ out didn't help. The first time I ran amcheck I got a message
that said something about (I thought I'd see it again) "smbclient doesn't
support exclude lists" and
that ampandapass was world writeable. When I fixed amandapass & ran amcheck
again I got the old message back - ERROR: NAK BS1: amandad busy.
Thanks for the help

Bill

try taking the $ out of the sharename. It's probably trying to interpret
the $ character oddly.
