after further investigation ive discovered that i dont understand winbind.
i stopped the winbindd daemon, which gives me access to my home
then changed smb.conf to take out  references to ADS-Name in the [srvbackup]
and i can also access srvbackup.
but now only people with accounts on linuxbox can access any share, sheesh

thanks
