Hmmm!
Amanda is running:
sendsize.debug:sendsize: spawning "/usr/bin/smbclient" in pipeline
sendsize.debug:sendsize: argument list: "smbclient"
"\\THESHARE\thedirectory" "the_password" "-d" "0" "-U" "backup" "-E"
"-c" "archive 1;recurse;du"
And it's working. Notably the command it says its running doesn't work
by hand so I suspect that it's a different command being implemented.
Now I'm getting more confused. I think I might point AMANDA at my remote
samba server and do a packet trace to work out EXACTLY what it is
sending over...

Then explain the above.

Oh, I downloaded the patched version (as opposed to patching it myself)
and it displays the same behaviour...
