I've been successfully backing up several machines on my network with
BackupPC ( Version 3.2.1). After a recent update to Kubuntu from 11.10
to  12.04, I'm now getting a the error message from three of my Windows
boxes (one XP, one 7, and one 2000 -don't ask). Googling the error
message did not give me any clues to why the error all of a sudden
started showing up. I'm pretty sure there was an update to Samba moving
from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, that may be causing this.

Here are a couple excerpts from the logs that show how it was working,
but has now stopped. Suggestions to better troubleshooting appreciated:

    aborted (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \\*)

Every attempt to backup full or partial has failed since. Detail on the
failed backup is:

    Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/corte-gx-260/XferLOG.bad.z,
    modified 2012-05-05 06:00:09

    backup will fail because: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \\*
    NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \\*

Several files do get backed up in this part of the log. Then the last
commands end here:

    create d 755 0/0 0 b2cd959604e7e76e27cf83 tarExtract: Done: 0
    errors, 111 filesExist, 15395741 sizeExist, 8380253 sizeExistComp,
    111 filesTotal, 15395741 sizeTotal
    Got fatal error during xfer (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \\*)
    Backup aborted (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \\*)
    Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than
    the prior one (got 111 and 111 files versus 111)

I tried excluding the directory b2cd959604e7e76e27cf83 in the config:

    Running: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\corte-gx-260\\C\$ -I 192.168.0.197
    -U backuppc -E -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -TcNrX
    /var/lib/backuppc/pc/corte-gx-260/timeStamp.level0 - pagefile.sys
    hiberfil.sys /System\ Volume\ Information /RECYCLER /\$Recycle.bin
    /\$RECYCLE.BIN /proc Temporary\* /Program\ Files
    /b2cd959604e7e76e27cf83/

Any direction on what the why the error is being generated just now and
what I can do to prevent it?

I can log into the windows boxes using smbclient on the machine that
runs backuppc and ls to see the shared files, so I think that rules out
general permissions issues. I increased the logging level on smb to 3
and really got more more information than is in the logs above.
