Title:
  tarmode exclude no longer working

Status in Samba:
  Unknown
Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “samba” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  1) 11.04
  2)samba:
    Installed: 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2
    Candidate: 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  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:
