amanda and samba-1.9.17alpha5 smbclient backups

[Ernie Oporto]

I verified that it works if the line is changed from 

DEBUG(3, ("Total bytes listed: %d\n", dir_total));

to

DEBUG(0, ("Total bytes listed: %d\n", dir_total));

without having to modify smb.conf.  I don't think adding the "Total" line to
everyone's everyday smbclient outputs will affect anyone too badly.

When I added the -E flag with the above to the following areas, it all
worked with the stock samba-1.9.17.  Since this is now included in
amanda-2.4.0 (still didn't get it working), we can suggest the following
changes, or just consider moving to the new stuff.
