this is the relevant part (the "...", or rather what it expands to).
It's just a list of other files and directories being successfully backed up before the shared directory. Really.

Ah, that's your problem. That "same" command line won't work with BackupPC. I
always see additional options like "-c tarmode\\ full" in the default config
files, and I'm sure they're there for a reason. I don't use smb transport, so
I can't explain the reason to you.
Seriously, remove the '-N' and try again.
Uh, no, I have no -N anywhere. The only difference between the command used by BackupPC and the above is that BackupPC uses tarmode, of course, which I don't want when connecting interactively. Here's the relevant excerpt from the log:
cmdExecOrEval: about to exec /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\server.example.com\\k -A .smbc -E -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc - Domain=[CL2] OS=[Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 7601 Service Pack 1] Server=[Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 6.1]
tarmode is now full, system, hidden, noreset, verbose directory \$RECYCLE.BIN\ directory \$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-1622802134-1018553101-3039836757-500\ ...
(yes, I have customized the $Conf{SmbClientFullCmd} to use a credential file rather than a password on the command line, if that's what you're thinking)
> Smbclient connects as user administrator,
Somehow I doubt that. See the message about the anonymous connection in the
"..."?
I see no such message. And this is what the .smbc file contains:
Is that not enough to ensure I connect as domain admin?
