    I have small script doing backup every week. It has worked nicely, but for
    a few weeks it suddenly doesn't work. 

    --
#!/bin/bash
tobackup="/etc .........."
kp=$(date +%e-%m-%Y)
mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=yyy '\\server2\backup' '/var/local/backup'
tar -czPf /var/local/backup/backup-server1-$kp.tar.gz $tobackup
umount '/var/local/backup'
--
It creates backup file in server1, but does not copy it to server2. I 
haven't changed anything in servers configuration I think.
When I enter manually: "mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=yyy 
//server2/backup /var/local/backup" it says:
10217: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an 
invalid share name) SMB connection failed
When I use root & root's password, it mounts nicely. What could be the 
reason? I have used this script nicely for months.
