Make of it what you will but the change from c to c$ in the filter
combined with the smbclient commands I supplied earlier ran as follows
(first the full then the incrmental) :

As I said, I have not tuned the smbclient commands away from the defaults that
were installed.
I assumed it is not necessary and they are ready for use with filters out of
the box.
You can see above what the commands interpolate to run as.
Thanks for any help on this in advance.
