I would say there are two alternatives:
1. Have Linux be the SMB server and Windows be the client. Rather
than Windows writing to a local directory and you trying to get
that via SMB, you can have Windows writing to a remote directory
via SMB and you getting it locally.
2. Install Cygwin on the Windows system, along with SSH and/or rsync.
rsync is great for incrementally synchronising entire trees.
You'd launch it from either system as needed.
Both should be easier to use than smbclient, which I find rather archaic
in terms of interface.
