Found the solution today. In the meantime I had discovered that, while I could not access the SMB share from the FreeBSD machine using smbclient, I could well do so from a Mac. Using the same command line "smbclient //mellum/d0_pvr -U pvr" worked from Mac OS X, but not from FreeBSD. More or less idling around, I tried it from the Mac's Finder GUI, "Connect to Server". The dialog "SMB/CIFS File System Authentication" had the workgroup name and my account name (in uppercase) already filled in and asked for a password. I entered the password and it worked... not! After correcting the account name to lower case it worked. Lo and behold! Indeed it was the account name in upper or lower case that made the difference. Apparently smbclient behaves differently on both systems, and the one on FreeBSD changes the account name to uppercase, as well as the system of the video recorder (a Siemens Gigaset M740AV running Linux inside, BTW). Knowing that, I made a username alias in uppercase, and now everything seems to be fine. Phew, that took me weeks to find out!
