No, this isn't bull! You are right. You only did it the half way.

If _both_ accounts (your local account and the remote account used
for the SMB connection) have the SeRestorePrivilge user right everything
works as expected.

However, giving this permission remains dangerous for the reasons you
explained in your previous mail. So the correct way in terms of NT
security is still using domains and domain accounts.
