Ok - here is the fix/problem for this:

The new version has the new smbclient package.

backuppc(both versions shipped with 8.04 and 8.10) by default backs up smb pcs using /usr/bin/smbclient -N for INCR FULL and Restore commands.

The new smbclient package if you use the -N switch it does not pass the password through hence the backups fail.

Looks like that change from the old smbclient to the new one.

FIX:
Either smbclient package needs to be changed (that -N passes the password command still) or the default config.pl file shipped with the latest backuppc on intrepid needs to be modified and the -N of smbclient portion removed.

Its a simple fix, can some develop fix this so backuppc actually works in 8.10?
