Don't know if this helps any, but generally the NT Backup user would
have to have global read rights to everything (that's being backed up). 
Or any other backup user, for that matter.  Another factor may be the
"mapping more than one share with different user names" problem--but
that may be fixed in 2.0.6 (or was it really a problem?).  One thing you
may try is to give the NT Backup user read rights to all the samba
shares, in the smb.conf.
