I dont use smbclient myself, so this is just a WAG.  Have you tried
creating actual "shares" instead of using the builtin drive share (ie
'drive_c' instead of 'c$').  The only funky thing I can think of that
might be happening is the $ in the share name is causing some strange
interpolation when the config runs.  Just a thought.

Otherwise, you may want to look at switching over to rsync.  I see
your backing up outlook files and I not sure if smbclient handles open
files.  Search the archive and you'll find a reference to a recipe
using rsync and shadow file services which will allow open files to be
backed up in a crash consistent state (they were still open when the
backup starts, but at least they aren't changing as your backing up).
