Directory rename problem with smbclient

[jpjanosi at us.ibm.com]

After looking at the code from samba 1.9.18p10  I made the following change
to libsmb/clientgen.c to resolve this problem, is there any reason I
shouldn't do this?

           cli_setup_packet(cli);

!          SSVAL(cli->outbuf,smb_vwv0,aSYSTEM | aHIDDEN);
           p = smb_buf(cli->outbuf);
           *p++ = 4;

I am trying to use smbclient to migrate data from OS/2 LanServers to a
filesystem on an AIX 4.3.1 machine.  Everything works great except renaming
directories on the OS/2 LanServer.  I get the error ERRDOS - ERRbadfile
(File not found.) renaming files when I do a "rename <existing_dir_name>
<new_dir_name>" at the prompt, but <existing_dir_name> exists.  I connected
to a NT Server and a Samba server with smbclient and am able to rename
directories on these systems.  I also tried connecting to the OS/2
LanServer from an NT client, and I am able to rename directories, so I do
not think there is a problem with the OS/2 machine.

Oh, I am using the smbclient from Samba 2.0.6, but I have also tried other
versions of smbclient back to 1.9.18 patch 3 with the same results.
