Amanda 2.3.0.5-Samba 1.9.16p11 PC backups...

[Ernie Oporto]

 I run smbclient manually to the Windows NT server to the depot share
(//thor/depot) and it connects properly.  When I try to back up, I get no
estimate errors.

I have patches samba1.9.16p11 with the 1.9.16p2 patch that adds estimates.
I am using Amanda 2.3.0.5 which has the smb support and which I've
configured with the --with-smbclient option.
