Thanks for the support guys. You're right, once I edited the per host
config the directory and files showed up.
I was having a weird issue where it's passing a -N flag in the smbclient
backup command string which denotes anonymous access even though I supplied
a password. I removed it and can now backup the Server 2003 client I've
been testing with.
Hopefully will be able to start using it for a customer this week. Thanks
again for the great assistance!
