You need to specify the filename/tape device (unless it is the default -
tar.out)
            -t archiveName

i.e. smbtar -s PHOENIX -p password -x cdrive -u administrator -t
/dev/rmt/0m -r -l 1 sanjay

(assuming sanjay is the directory you want to restore) - if you just want
everything, you can (probably) omit this.
