Correct. This is unnecessary in both the disklist and the /etc/amandapass
files.

smbclient also allows you to specify -U user%passwd
From the smbclient manpage (2.0.7):
-U username
This specifies the user name that will be used by the
client to make a connection, assuming your server
is not a downlevel server that is running a protocol level
that uses passwords on shares, not on user-
names.
[...]
If the service you are connecting to requires a password, it
can be supplied using the -U option, by
appending a percent symbol ("%") then the password to
username. For example, to attach to a service as
user "fred" with password "secret", you would specify.
-U fred%secret
on the command line. Note that there are no spaces around
the percent symbol.
If you specify the password as part of
username then the -N option (suppress password prompt) is
assumed.

See above.

Been there so many times....

My site runs Samba 2.0.7 on Slackware 7 Linux, Amanda 2.4.2p1. Trust me
(and Paul), use:
//winbox/winshare winuser%passwd windomain
in your /etc/amandapass
(Where windomain is optional.)
If you've removed the extraneous slashes, changed your /etc/amandapass to
the user%pass format and *still* have problems, let us know.
