Bug Description
Binary package hint: samba
1) 11.04
2)samba:
Installed: 2:3.5.8~
Candidate: 2:3.5.8~
Version table:

3) Backuppc was backing up fine but no longer works (did not work with 10.10 or with 11.04
4)
smbclient no longer excludes directories or files when tarmode is enabled. This is breaking backuppc as backuppc relies on smb for one of its transfer methods.
To reproduce try:
/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\user\\D -U user -E -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -TcrX - \\dirToExclude > /dev/null
There is no formatting of the directory ("\\dirToExclude") which will allow its exclusion. A similar problem was discussed years ago:

I was able to confirm the same behaviour in smbclient on lucid, maverick and natty installations.
Inclusion seems to work OK - exclusion does not.
