Odd Samba problem

I'm configuring amanda for the first time and it's almost working. I'mgetting a failure from amcheck on one of the two Samba shares I have setup in my disklist. The only real difference I can see in the setup isthat the password (in /etc/amandapass) for the one that fails contains a# character. The password works perfectly if I log in to that sharewith smbclient - is there something I ought to know about quotingspecial characters in amandapass?


My disklist contains these:
burgundy /home comp-user-tar
burgundy //pommard/MyDocuments comp-user-tar
burgundy //maranges/PrisDocs comp-user-tar

where burgundy is the SMB server. When I run amcheck, it has no problemaccessing the share //maranges/PrisDocs (or with /home on burgundy) butfails on //pommard/MyDocuments. The entries in /etc/amandapass looklike this (obviously scrambled to protect real passwords):


//pommard/MyDocuments me%foo#bar
//maranges/PrisDocs metoo%foobar

Note that this command works fine:

smbclient //pommard/MyDocuments foo#bar -U me

I'm guessing that the # sign in foo#bar is being treated as the start ofa comment when /etc/amandapass gets read. I sure don't want to change aworking password to get a backup, though. What am I missing?


TIA
