I have a few dumptypes that are specific to one DLE, sometimes for a
specific exclude file.  Another 2 or three I thought would be for one DLE,
and later I found them useful for other DLE's too.

The amanda client is not the PC.  It is the unix box running smbclient.
That box is running sendbackup* just as if it were backing up local FS's.
As mentioned previously, that is where the ignore error messages list is used.
The list seems to contain some smbclient messages already.
