SMBCLIENT program not available

[brai...@gmail.com]

I am running a new backup server with a vanilla load of RedHat with an
LTO library:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon).

I have tried the stock amanda and samba packages, and got this error on
amcheck:

ERROR: localhost: [This client is not configured for samba:
//sleepy/netapps]
ERROR: localhost: [This client is not configured for samba:
//sleepy/c$]
ERROR: localhost: [SMBCLIENT program not available]

smbclient works fine with these shares. I have compiled amanda again
to make sure that smbclient support is included. And when I check with
amadmin, it is listed correctly. I have verified and rebuilt the
/etc/amandapass file. I used to run amanda backups on the same shares
on my previous backup server (running RedHat 8 and a DLT library), and
it worked fine.

I have compiled and installed both amanda and samba, with the same
results.
samba-3.0.14a
amanda-2.4.4p2
