Ideally I'd like to solve this without having to install new software on
a bunch of windows servers. Part of the appeal of the samba method is
that you never even have to log in to the workstations to set them up,
since the backup user and permissions and shares can be managed through
AD.

I would suggest using rsync instead of smb as a transfer method. You
can even download a version of the rsync daemon which allows backing
up of open files on Windows XP using Volume Snapshots. Some guy came
up with this and I've been using it for a while now, works great.
Search the archives.

We've run into a problem when running backuppc on Windows XP hosts where
many files simply aren't being backed up. For instance if I've got a
directory with MP3s in it the entire directory tree will be created and
viewable in the backuppc web gui, but the bottom level directory will be
empty. This problem seems only to affect windows XP hosts. Our windows
2003 servers work fine.
I realize this can often be a permissions issue, but the backup user has
full rights to the required folder and files. He can manipulate them
just find through plain smbclient.
This problem pops up most frequently when backing up the Documents and
Settings folder. Has anyone else come across this issue?
