And I don't remember seeing where you tried to connect to that share from
a remote Windows box: do you get an error there, too?
For example: from any Windows machine Command Prompt (besides the W2K3
server itself) on the network:
NET USE Z: \\SERVER\SHARE /USER:USERNAME
Then it will prompt you for the password. Type it in. If it connects and
you can then see files on the Z: drive, then your permissions are correct
on the W2K3 server. If you get an error, then the problem is with the
permissions on the server, and nothing to do with Samba/BackupPC.
One last thing: depending on the version of Samba you have and the
security settings on your W2K3 server, there can be all kinds of
conflicts: e.g. Samba is using a different (lower) authentication
mechanism than the W2K3 will accept. This is far worse (and more common)
between Vista/7/W2K8/R2 and Samba, but it is still easily possible with
W2K3.
This is just a random page found from a very quick Google, but it gives
you an idea of the flavor of issues you might be facing:
