You should be able to test your settings by using smbclient in
interactive mode, logging in as the same user.   If you can't list a
directory or get a file in interactive mode, it's not going to work in
the tar mode that backuppc uses either.  You'll probably also see the
same from another windows box if you map the share with the same
credentials.
