Bug Description
Situation:
Server:
Windows XP Professional SP 3, all updates installed
Folder: c:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Gemeinsame Dateien\ is shared as "dokumente_jupiter"
User "thomas" has full access to this folder (and all subfolders)
Client:
Ubuntu 8.10
When i try to mount the above mentioned shared XP-Folder on my Ubuntu-Box with the command:
smbmount //jupiter/
i don't get write-permissions to the folder:
dr-xr-xr-x 1 thomas thomas 0 2009-02-24 15:14 jupiter
Inside the folder it looks like that:
drwxrwxrwx 1 thomas thomas 0 2009-01-17 14:48 110109
drwxrwxrwx 1 thomas thomas 0 2009-02-25 13:38 24.02.2009 Fasching

I thought it has something to do with the spaces in the filenames, but on the second folder it works with a space in the filename. Perhaps it's an issue with those weird "virtual folder names" that xp uses: Inside c:\dokumente und einstellungen\all users\ the folder is named "gemeinsame dateien", after opening the folder by double-clicking it, it is named "c:\dokumente und einstellungen\all users\dokumente".
