I think you want the -c option to smbclient....
-c command string
command string is a semicolon-separated list of commands to be
executed instead of prompting from stdin. -N is implied by -c.
This is particularly useful in scripts and for printing stdin to
the server, e.g. -c 'print -'.
... so you might have something like....
smbclient //kmiller/temp -U username%password -c "get $filename"
