I don't know enough about windows to help more - and I've had trouble
with that too. There is a difference between a local user and a
domain user and the corresponding group mappings and there may be a
setting that gives the local admin more access to shares. Or for the
AD case you have to join the domain from the linux box. One thing
that might not be obvious is that smbclient and smbtar used by
backuppc will read your /etc/samba/smb.conf file and will pull things
like the domain setting from there. If you have settings there
intended for shares from the linux box they might not be what you need
as a client.
In any case you can connect manually with smbclient to check what you
can access faster than waiting for a backup run to hit it.
