Hurrah! Con­tin­u­ing the saga, I was search­ing through the Déjà Vu help, I stum­bled upon this little nugget of information:

IMPOR­TANT: If you are back­ing up to a Win­dows server, you must use the ‘Connect’ button in the ‘Auto-Connect’ tab to mount the volume before you select the source and des­ti­na­tion fold­ers (in the ‘What’ and ‘Where’ columns). If you select the source and des­ti­na­tion fold­ers when the volume has been mounted by the Finder, Déj? Vu will not be able to find the des­ti­na­tion when it auto-​connects to the volume at backup time.

No kid­ding. I did as asked, and 30 sec­onds later, I’m back­ing up to the WinXP box in the closet. Effort­less…

Thanks to every­one who sug­gested alter­nate solu­tions — this is really the best and sim­plest for my needs. Yea, it’ll take for­ever over the Wire­less “G” net­work, but I’ve got it sched­uled for 3am, once a week. Should be okay.
