I installed smbclient (which is not installed by default) and tested the
connection. Worked fine.

Then I applied the connection string to deja-dup.

Selected drop-down Network Server
Server address: smb://10.1.0.4/nethome
Folder: /backup/mbpr13b

The difference to previous tests: Entering the smb service
(//server/servicename) works, entering just the server (smb://server)
does not.

I will attach a screenshot that demonstrates the issue (compared to
previous screenshots).

Maybe you want to exchange "Server Address" with "Service path" and in the help 
modal add
"smb://gnome.org/backup_dir" as the current description and help is definitely 
missleading.
