[Samba] re: Data not written

[Dennis Bottaro]

Thanks for the replies I have gotten - but I realize that I did not give
enough info the first time:
Here is the script that I am using:

----------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

umount /mnt/backup
mount -t smbfs //NTb/f$ /mnt/backup -o
username=myuser,password=mypassword,ip=192.168.1.2

smbclient \\\\Nta\f$ mypassword -I 192.168.1.5 -U myuser -TcX
/mnt/backup/zeus.tar Inetpub\

------------------------------------

The above script does the mount of the /mnt/backup just fine, and runs
through the motions of the smbclient line, processing each file, but it
never writes the tar files to /mnt/backup.

But if I run each command interactively, it does the job.
