Was trying to retrace my steps and do some trouble-shooting, and got to samba. 
Googling a bit I found this page:

http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/manual4/samba.html

And this little piece of information;

"For windows 2000 and XP:

Disable Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data
Disable Domain member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible)"

As I understand it, this implies that samba does seem to need clear text 
passwords. Unfortunately I can't, or actually am not allowed, to use the more 
lax security setting in Windows, as per instrucations from the university 
IT-department.

As far as I can see, this kinda' puts an end to using BPC for backing up 
Windows-machines. Or...?
