This isn't a mode Box Backup is designed to support, although it is  
one which will be supported in the next version.

Having said that, compile up a debug version and then report back on  
what that outputs. I do suspect, though, that it's trying to restore  
the permissions on a file which isn't supported by Samba or you  
haven't got permission to set.
