After talking to a few people it seems I was wrong. Apparently
it tries to drop its files onto CIFS/SMB servers by logging in
as guest. If Samba had a valid user named guest with no password,
then it would suceed ...

or if you have "map to guest" in smb.conf set to anything other
than the default of "Never", you might see this as well. Of course,
this also assumes that "guest" has write access to shares.

Apologies for the previous hasty and incorrect response. Hope this
helps.

cheers, jerry
