As I said in my previous email, the script expects the input to be
copied to the output:

The script sends "volume\nquit\n" as input to smbclient and expects this
back:

  Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
  smb: \> volume
  Volume: |tmp| serial number 0xad80a8b3
  smb: \> quit

But the input isnt copied to the output, so it actually gets this back:

  Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
  smb: \> Volume: |tmp| serial number 0xad80a8b3
  smb: \> 

The pattern "^Volume" matches only the first thing, not the second but
the test is just looking for this Volume chain. The failure is
incorrect.

I have no idea why the input isnt copied on the output. I've tried
running this on a different machine and it passes. It could be that the
shell have different behaviours regarding eval/echo/backticks together.
