I've dealt with SMB permissions recently. I may be able to help. Emphasis on
"may" - I'll try my best. My experience is limited to the problem I was having,
which may or may not be good enough.
Anyway, this sounds like the symptoms I was having. If it's like anything I
had, it's an issue on the W2K machines. Check to be sure the permissions of
each folder allow "Domain-Administrator" to access them. I can't remember what
it's called, but there's a tab somewhere in the folder's security properties
that lets you see what permissions are being allowed and denied for a specific
user.
BTW, if this is off-topic, should we be discussing this on the BackupPC mailing
list, or should we allow it this once?
