Ok - the [U] is your problem. That denotes a 'U'ser
account. Remove the line and re-add the account as
a machine (workstation) account by doing :

smbpasswd -a -m scsi-bak

You should end up with a line that looks like :

                          Notice the difference.
                                          |
                                          V
scsi-bak$:1024:<xxxpasswd1>:<xxxpasswd2>:[W]:LCT-<timestamp>:

Cheers,
