We're not seeing the verbatim text, but the / at the end of the first

/mnt as the second field, but /mnt/Optiplex_Backups, again with no
trailing slash.
Thanks for spotting the errors in my entry. Unfortunately, I still
can't make the fstab entry work.
Other commands to poke about are:
smbclient -L readynas
That works and I am able to list the shares on my server and see all the
backup files.
smbtree -N
This no longer works on my version of smb.
So. Can we try this from another direction, because I suspect that I am
getting lost in a maze of spaces and slashes. As mentioned before the
path to the main backup is:
smb://[email protected]/TerryJColes/Backups/Optiplex/Duplicity/OptiPlex/
What should the fstab entry be to allow me to mount that folder? I have
created a local credentials file in etc.
