I believe that the fix you need is to edit /etc/backuppc/config.pl. There are three strings:

    $Conf{SmbClientFullCmd}
    $Conf{SmbClientIncrCmd}, and
    $Conf{SmbClientRestoreCmd}

which control Samba backups and restore. In all three strings remove the "-N" flag.

My understanding that the flag is no longer needed, because the login prompt is automatically suppressed because backuppc passes the password through the PASSWD environment variable. I reported separately a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297025) in the new version of smbclient that prevents this password from being passed if the -N flag is used.

Let me know if this doesn't work.
