Title:
  deja-dup-monitor fails backup to smb, while deja-dup itself succeeds
  (error resolving server name)

Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have a backup location on a Samba share, which is reachable under an URL of the form 
  smb://MyGroup;myname@myservername/myname/deja-dup

  Backing from the main Gui (using "Backup now") or using "deja-dup
  --backup" from the commandline works without problems. However
  automatic backups do not work. If I start deja-dup-monitor by hand, I
  get the following error whenever it tries to perform a backup:

  ** (deja-dup-monitor:22068): WARNING **: Network.vala:48: Error
  resolving 'myservername': Name or service not known

  This seems to happen in the function can_reach, which itself seems to
  call the GTK network library.  I already checked whether the function
  is called with the correct url by inserting a bit of debug code into
  the can_reach function, and it does indeed use the correct url. So the
  error IMHO seems to be on the network library side.

  Ubuntu Release:
  Ubuntu 13.10

  Deja-dup Package:
  27.3.1-0ubuntu1 0

  Additional Information:
  I use the KDE Desktop environment (4.11.2) and the passwords are to my knowledge all saved in the KDE Keyring (KDE Wallet Manager).

  What I expect to happen:
  I expect the automatic backup to an smb share to work
  What happened instead:
  Automatic Backups are not performed and I always have to initiate the backup by hand.
