Using CLI to save snapshot to smbfs returns errors
I have been using BIT successfully (?) for a while now doing manual backups. Wanting to schedule backups with crontab I recently tried taking a snapshot via CLI (normally I just launch the GUI) to make sure everything works OK. "backintime -b" returns this:

I am guessing this means that there is a problem related to permissions? I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and saving snapshots to a smbfs-mount with this added to /etc/fstab:
//192.168.0.2/mando /media/mando smbfs rw,user,
