I'm apparently missing some basic element of the smb connection
syntax or something.  I got the latest cvs tramp and can connect to
one windows machine share with this:

  /smb:address@hidden:/hgpxp-c/ <RET>
I then get prompted twice for password.  (shouldn't it be only once?)

But then trying the same thing on a second machine:

  /smb:address@hidden:/bjpxp-c/

I get prompted twice for password but am then told:
   Cannot make local copy of file `/smb:address@hidden:/bjpxp-c/'
it can't be a permissions thing, at least not on localhost or I'd hit
the same snap on hgpxp

  From *Messages*:
tramp: Started process (smbclient //bjpxp/bjpxp-c -U reader)

However both machines/share are accessable with the normal smbclient
method:

   $ smbclient //bjpxp/bjpxp-c -U reader
  added interface ip=192.168.0.4 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
  Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.16 ( 192.168.0.16 )

  smb: \>

Any ideas why one works and the other fails?
