I haven't peeked at the code, but I'd guess that it is checking
that the programs exist so it can give a reasonable error message
at startup time instead of waiting until some backup run needs
it (remember that you can override $Conf{XferMethod} in a per-pc
config file while inheriting $Conf{SmbClientPath} from the main
file). You can either change the $Conf{SmbClientPath} entry to
something like /bin/false or make a dummy executable file for
/usr/bin/smbclient.
