Oh, one thing to remember is that all the directories should be lowercase,
since the code doesn't try out the path requested component by component
with all combinations of upper- and lowercases like the mainline Samba code.
It just lowercases the path sent, prepends the path of the dfs root and
tries to see if it is a valid dfs symlink. I think this is a reasonable
restriction if redirects need to be fast.
