It looks like it can't find any master browsers on your network.  Does
"smbtree -NS" work on this host?

Btw, can I infer from "but on some hosts" that there are other ones
that it does work fine? Does it successfully list all the same names
that "smbtree -NS" does on those?

Thanks for the feedback. :)
