I've been having a similar response from some of our OS/2 clients. They
give virtually the same error message, but then go ahead and mount the
share anyway. This only happens to users who mount their drives using a
third party file manager utility called FM/2, but it would seem to
indicate that there really is a problem. I hope one of you guys can
figure this out, 'cause I'd really like to start using DAVE. I use CAP
now, but getting it to properly save the Mac resource fork is a pain in
the butt.
