All is working if I make only a "rear mkbackuponly" - as soon as I try to make the rescue as well, it is not working "rear mkbackup or rear mkrescue" - what I can see the output like:

ERROR: Mount command 'mount -v -o rw,guest //myshare/backup/rear /tmp/rear.JjLlFk2ydwPH80s/outputfs' failed.

It looks as if the mount is done by guest? But the mkbackuponly does correctly move the file to the cifs share? Hope someone could give me a tip what is going wrong?
