In some sense, that is the final answer.
More explicitly (and has been stated in the FAQ, and on this mailing
list inumerable times): if smbclient can't get to the windows host,
Amanda is not involved. You must first make smbclient work before you
can even begin to test with Amanda.
Again: THIS IS NOT AMANDA'S FAULT! IT IS SMBCLIENT'S FAULT!
Sorry folks. I'm just really sick & tired of seeing the same old
problems flogged to death here because folks refuse to read either the
FAQ or the archives of this mailing list.

P.S. Technically, it is Microsoft's fault for violating their own
(unpublished) standards with the SMB implementation for w2k.
P.P.S. The folks who provide Samba do an amazing job in spite of
Microsoft, and if you get the very latest version from them, I'd be
willing to bet a buck that it will solve your problem -- unless you have
your Samba misconfigured, that is.
