I've just read at this thread. I can't help you with the samba mounting problems, but if you want to re-try with rsync, you can get a bundled cygwin and rsync server installer called cwRsync from ITeF!x: http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650 It's what I'm using on a couple dozen Windows XP/2003/2008 machines for backing up to a Debian box running BackupPC. Works great. The only thing I recall having to change from the standard install is that it creates a local user for running the rsync service and that user needs to be added to the Backup Operators group to access the files I'm backing up. (Caveat: I haven't tried it with domain authentication, I'm just running a large workgroup.)
