are you sure it's connecting as administrator and not guest? I vaguely remember that this might happen in some circumstances, but nothing exact. What version of smbclient are you using? > Looking at the XferLog: > > create d 755 0/0 0 Inspect32 > create 644 0/0 15905 Inspect32/EULA.txt > create 644 0/0 100688 Inspect32/inspect32.exe > create d 755 0/0 0 tabpro > create d 755 0/0 0 tabpro/OCX > pool 644 0/0 326 tabpro/OCX/ARRWHOUR.CUR > > Everything is going fine as it backs up the Inspect32 dir - and then > suddenly we're in the tabpro dir.

Are you sure they're done in alphabetical order? Ok, missing is missing, regardless of when it was missed, but it might be worth looking elsewhere in the log file for related messages. > We have no excludes or special config settings for this machine, and all > the other XP boxes are backing up fine. > > Any ideas what could cause this behavior? The only thing I can think of to check except for all relevant XP permission settings (whatever those might be) would be the exact smbclient command executed (see the log file) - just to make sure there really are no excludes sneaking in from somewhere.
