I've set up a share on my NT box.

I can do:

'smbclient //PC-NAME/SHARE -U username'

after entering the password I can see the contents of the share.

So I set up this share to be backed up by amanda. I have:

Created a share on the PC
Created /etc/amandapass with the correct information.
Created a dumptype for this backup which is using GNUTAR as required.
Added the entry to the disklist in the format:

TAPESEVER //PC-NAME/SHARE Dumptype

where TAPESERVER is the server doing the backup but also has samba.

when I run amcheck config I get the following:

ERROR: father: [This client is not configured for samba: //wasp/backup]
ERROR: father: [GNUTAR program not available]
ERROR: father: [can not read/write /opt/amanda/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/.: No 
such file or directory]
ERROR: father: [SMBCLIENT program not available]

Has anyone got any suggestions.
