Samba questions

[Jerry Feldman]

I have a cron script that I run nightly to backup my wife's Windoz PC, both the C and D partiitons.
The script does the following:
for DIR in "c d"
do
	mount 
	if successful
		cd mount point
		tar czf target --exclude-from=exclude-file .
		cd /
		umount mount point
done



The problem is SMB failure while mounting the second drive. 
Backing up Windows xxx d to /home1/xxx
session request to XXX failed
session request to *SMBSERVER failed
SMB connection failed

I have tested the script, and if I comment out the tar, the mount works fine.  This only fails when backing up both Windows shares in a back to back sequence.
