shouldn't that lead to a different error? As I read the source, "no files
dumped for share" is produced for a dump where no other error was detected,
yet no files were read - perhaps due to insufficient permissions to access
any files (oh, and it's "*Got* fatal error ...", so we know it's only an
approximation of the actual error message ;-).

More context from the XferLOG would probably help in determining the actual
problem. Are there error messages which BackupPC couldn't interpret leading
up to the "no files dumped ..."? Have you tried running the exact same
command BackupPC is trying from the command line? Can you connect to the
client machine with 'smbclient' (something like
'smbclient //host/C\$ -U backup-user', if 'backup-user' is what BackupPC is
using; see the man page for details) and list the contents of the share?

Regards,
Holger
