Unfortunately it's not that simple. The file is encrypted at FS level: using a share will not let the file to be read. Even on windows. (You get a permission denied). Having the erroro correctly handled would allow to continue my file readings (via backuppc) instead of a timeout error.
Just right click on a file that is shared: click on properties / advanced and check "crypt". Then try to read it remlotely. It will faile. You even cannot copy the crypted file. So 2 solutions: either correctly handle the error (perm denied (reported when trying to access via a real windows system)) Or if implemented by windows, being able to use the certificate to read the file (probably not possible though).
