We're using Samba 3.0.21a-1 on a CentOS 4.2 server (kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp); everything works more or less fine, it's functioning as the PDC with an OpenLDAP back end (setup essentially straight from the Idealx.org playbook), etc.

We're trying to mount Windows shares to back them up, and getting "permission denied" errors when trying to read certain files from those shares.

A typical operation might look like this:

server:~# mount -t smbfs -o username="\\LCLDOMAIN\backup",password="password" //workstation/share /mnt/backup

server:~# tar jcvf /mnt/backup_drive/workstation.tar.bz2 /mnt/backup

The backup user has the SeBackupPrivilege right set, which to my understanding should allow it read-access to every file on those shares...?

server:~# net rpc rights list backup
Password:
SeBackupPrivilege

I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong. Haven't really touched Samba since 2.0 was in Beta, so to say I'm slightly in over my head might be an understatement...

Thanks!
