Posting first "more generally" means you were looking for a "general" answer
like "looks like something is going wrong", but now you really want to resolve
the matter? :-)
I'm posting back to <backuppc-users>. What makes you think it's not a
configuration error? It seems to work for others (at least I haven't heard
anything to the contrary).

Ah, some information. That's a start (if not more).

BackupPC includes no smbclient command. That's from the Samba suite. Or were
you referring to the default configuration setting of
$Conf{SmbClientIncrCmd}?

I see different amounts of quoting (backslashes) in the default setting, so
this is probably not a verbatim quote from your configuration (much less an
indication of the command actually run). Quoted from memory?
The obvious thing to compare would be SmbClientFullCmd and SmbClientIncrCmd.
Oh, and anyone considering to help you will obviously want to know (among
many other things) which version of BackupPC you are talking about.

Filters don't "apply in BackupPC". Filters are used to construct arguments
to the commands run to gather the data - smbclient in your case. It's entirely
possible to misconfigure the command settings to defeat this purpose.
