Ok, I see the mechanics involved ... thanks

    *tramp/smb bjpxp*
That buffer shows that a file named `\' cannot be found.
ERRDOS - ERRbadfile (File not found.) opening remote file \
smb: \> 

So thats why the `get' fails I guess.

    *debug tramp/smb address@hidden
I don't see this buffer...

It turned out to be a share name mismatch.  

/smb:address@hidden:/bjpxp-c/  => fails
/smb:address@hidden:/BJPXP-C/  => works

Strangely,  the above syntax works fine on another machine:
   /smb:address@hidden:/hgpxp-c/
So I'm guessing its something on the machine bjpxp that is causing
lowercase to fail.  The machines are different versions of win XP
(home edition), not sure if that may matter.

But it seems now to be win XP related rather than tramp.
