Hi Rich,

Afraid I can't give you a full answer here as this happened when I was
on Debian and I sinced moved to SUSE (where it didn't happen) but...

I recollect changing the "$SMBCLIENT -gNL $key " line and inserting
the argument to include a credentials file..

$SMBCLIENT -gNL $key -A /etc/smb.auth

smb.auth should be in the syntax

username="joe.bob"
password="somepassword"
domain="SOMEDOMAIN"

HTH
