(unfortunately i don't receive copies of my own emails, but...) i figured out what was going on. (or google did... of course...)
from the page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backuppc/+bug/283652 "I believe that the fix you need is to edit /etc/backuppc/config.pl. There are three strings: $Conf{SmbClientFullCmd} $Conf{SmbClientIncrCmd}, and $Conf{SmbClientRestoreCmd} which control Samba backups and restore. In all three strings remove the "-N" flag. My understanding that the flag is no longer needed, because the login prompt is automatically suppressed because backuppc passes the password through the PASSWD environment variable. I reported separately a bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297025) in the new version of smbclient that prevents this password from being passed if the -N flag is used. Let me know if this doesn't work." but just thought i'd report back!!
