I got a similar problem with my nt-clients. Amcheck says, it could not connect, because the password was wrong. Smbclient connects fine with the same password. Didn't find out the reason. What I do as a workaround: Just before backing up, I mount the nt-shares on the backup-server using smbmount. So I can back them up with any constellation using GNUTAR. Maybe that helps you. Anyway I would be interested in a real answer. Maybe it has something to do with samba using encrypted/unencrypted passwords? Anybody got an idea?
