I believe that the fix you need is to edit /etc/backuppc/config.pl.
There are three strings:

    $Conf{SmbClientFullCmd}
    $Conf{SmbClientIncrCmd}, and
    $Conf{SmbClientRestoreCmd}

which control Samba backups and restore.  In all three strings remove
the "-N" flag.

My understanding that the flag is no longer needed, because the login
prompt is automatically suppressed because backuppc passes the password
through the PASSWD environment variable.  I reported separately a bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297025) in the new version of smbclient
that prevents this password from being passed if the -N flag is used.

Let me know if this doesn't work.
