Another data point:

If I use a web browser from the server and attempt to initiate a backup,  I get 
the message stating that being that the pc is a dhcp host and it must be 
started from the client because it can not resolve the netbios name.

Which is odd because it can do it from the command line using nmblookup and:

./BackupPC_dump -v -f jbsoffice

Hmmmmmm.....
