First make sure that the login/password you are using works to connect 
to the share from a windows client, then try the same connection from 
linux using smbclient (which should give you an ftp-like interface).  If 
you can do it from smbclient but the backuppc connection isn't working, 
then it may be the way the -N option works.   I've forgotten what 
version of samba introduced the change that made it fail.
