Got this working too, but some other issues now which I need to look into.  For some reason certain directories under my C:/users/dwilliams folder are not getting backed up.  Not sure why that would be but will try and take a look at this and see what I can find out.  However, backups are working now so that's great :)

Thanks for the help.

Thank you for the quick response :) My config files are from several years ago so I guess that this is why, probably my smb backup command is out of date.  Will remove the -N as instructed and give it another try.

Can anyone provide any insight to this? What else can I do to troubleshoot?
sure. Sorry for being mean, but this used to be an FAQ ;-).

[...]
Running: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\dwlaptop\\Documents -U dwilliams -E -N 
-d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc -
You're supplying a '-N' switch to smbclient, thus requesting it not to pass a
password, and that's exactly what it's doing.

The behaviour changed some versions ago. Remove the '-N'.
