What type of a plugin feed to you have? The number of plugins you have
seems odd: a GPL feed should have around 1000-1200 plugins while the
registered and direct feeds over 9000. Are you perhaps out of disk space
on the filesystem where your plugins are stored? Or have you tried
mixing plugins from different feeds?

Anyway, the issue is that apparently one of the plugins you have tries
to use smb_func.inc, which you don't presently have. That include file's
not part of the GPL'd feed and none of the plugins that are part of it
reference that include file, as far as I can tell.  If you have a GPL
feed, you'll need to find the plugin that references smb_func.inc and
remove it; otherwise, you'll need to figure out why you're not getting
the full set of plugins associated with your feed type.
