[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff windows share

[Rick]

Gday List,

Im trying to use rdiff-backup to backup up a windows share.

Im using Debian 4.0 ( Etch ), rdiff-backup 1.1.9-2 Windows Server 2003.

I have mounted the windows share in /mnt/win_share/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME
I have tried mount and smbmount.

My current mount command:
mount -t smbfs -o 
username=<uname>%<password>,uid=<my_uid>,gid=<my_gid>,rw \ 
//COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME /mnt/ /mnt/win_backup/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME
The share mounts fine...

I can then use rsync:
rsync -av /mnt/win_share/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME 
/mnt/win_backup/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME
That is successful...

However when I try:
rdiff-backup /mnt/win_share/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME 
/mnt/win_backup/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME

It fails...
Exception '[Errno 13] Permission denied: 
'/mnt/win_mounts/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME/data/aux'' raised of class 
'exceptions.OSError':
 File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 
298, in error_check_Main
   try: Main(arglist)
 File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 
318, in Main
   take_action(rps)
 File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 
274, in take_action

Looking for clues, I want to avoid having to install ssh/rsync on the 
windows box.

Thank you
Rick
