The BackupPC pool needs to be located on a Linux file share. I'm not sure if you're talking about sharing a Linux folder with Samba, or using Samba to access a Windows share. It won't work if you put the BackupPC pool on a Windows disk, because that doesn't support hardlinks (at least not in the way that BackupPC requires).
