But you mount the share as the user "samba."  Does that user have full admin
rights on the PC?

You might be better using cpio to do your backup:

find /bin -depth -print | cpio -pdv /mnt/blob/bin

You might also post to a more appropriate mailing list.  This one is for users
of RedHat Network (rhn-users, as the name implies); it is not a general RedHat
help list.
