If that works, the normal method should too.  I believe there are some 
versions of smbclient with bugs in command line parsing that have 
trouble with backuppc.  It's been mentioned on the list but I've 
forgotten the details.  Also, smbclient reads your default smb.conf file 
even though most of its settings relate to the server so it is possible 
to have problems that relate to the password server or similar global 
settings there.
