Rick,
This may actually be something like what I'd run into a while back, but
with read permissions and on XP Pro. For whatever reason, using Samba,
I could not get some directories to backup properly unless I set a
password on the account I was using to access the shares remotely. I
verified this by running the backup on the account, removing the
password (empty string) and watching it fail, then adding it back and
watching it succeed. Try putting a password on your account and re-run
the backup. You never know, it may help.
Hope that helps,
JH

It looks like I'm running into permissions problems as I descend the
windows directory structure.
Does anyone have enough Samba/Windows XP foo to help me. It's looking
like windows XP home only lets you allow write permision one directory
at a time. See my experiment with smbclient in forwared note.
I can't figure out (from the gui at least) a way to permit write
sharing recursively.
Can anyone help?

No. I made sure to check the 'let others change' or whatever the
wording is when I set up the share, which is to the C: drive of the
Windows machine.
I've just done a test using smbclient. I think I might have a
permissions problem somewhere down the directory hierarchy:
$ smbclient //arwen/CDrive
smb: \> put test.txt
putting file test.txt as \test.txt (0.2 kb/s) (average 0.2 kb/s)
smb: \> ls
...
test.txt A 6 Mon Mar 19 14:22:59 2007
...
smb: \> cd "Documents and Settings"
smb: \Documents and Settings\> put test.txt
putting file test.txt as \Documents and Settings\test.txt (2.9 kb/s)
(average 0.3 kb/s)
smb: \Documents and Settings\> ls

This is from an account on the linux machine which has the same name
(rick) and password as an administrative account on the XP machine.
It won't let me write to either the Documents and Settings directory
of that account or my wife's one either.
Do I need to set sharing permissions on each sub-directory? Is there
a way to do that recursively in XP?

problem is with my Samba setup. I was hoping someone here might be
able to shed some light.
Is the share read-only?
