[Bug 765249] [NEW] tarmode exclude no longer working

[James]

Public bug reported:

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:
