I can't get the amanda interface to samba working.  No matter what I try
amcheck reports:

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: gorn.americom.com: [samba access error: //zena.americom.com/zena: Added 
interface ip=192.168.2.1 bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0: session request to 
ZENA.AMERICOM.C failed: session request to *SMBSERVER failed: returned 1]
Client check: 7 hosts checked in 0.768 seconds, 1 problem found

My disklist file contains:

  gorn.americom.com         //zena.americom.com/zena       americom-samba

And my /etc/amandapass contains:

  //zena.americom.com/zena               amanda%xxxxxxxx      americom.com

Using smbtar as follows works fine:

  smbtar -s zena -p xxxxxxxx -x zena -t - | /bin/dd of=/dev/nst1 obs=32k

I am not clear what the user should be in user%pass in the
/etc/amandapass file.  The file /etc/smbusers contains:

  # Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ...
  root = administrator admin
  amanda = administrator admin
  nobody = guest pcguest smbguest

so I used amanda%xxxxxxxx (the xxxxxxx is not the actual pasword).

Can anyone suggest how to diagnose the problem.

Thanks,
Dick
