[Samba] mounting win2003 server shares fails

[Culver, Chuck]

I emailed about this before but didn't get any response.  I am desperate.

I can mount the share of any computer in the domain.  XP (even with sp2), 2000, etc... everything works no problem.

When I try to mount a share on a win2003 server, the command completes successfully, but when I try to view the folder, it is not showing.

I have tried several variations of commands:

mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=xx //apps/sti /home/chuck/smb4k/apps/sti

mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=xx,uid=chuck,gid=chuck //apps/sti /home/chuck/smb4k/apps/sti

mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=xx,uid=chuck,gid=chuck,fmask=777,dmask=777 //apps/sti /home/chuck/smb4k/apps/sti

This is what I get.. as both ROOT and the user CHUCK, no matter what command I use:

[root at datacenter smb4k]# ls -la
total 12
drwxrwxrwx   3 chuck chuck 4096 Oct 22 11:42 ./
drwxr-xr-x  24 chuck chuck 4096 Oct 22 11:56 ../
drwxrwxrwx   3 chuck chuck 4096 Oct 22 11:42 apps/
[root at datacenter smb4k]# cd apps
[root at datacenter apps]# ls -la
ls: sti: Permission denied
total 8
drwxrwxrwx  3 chuck chuck 4096 Oct 22 11:42 ./
drwxrwxrwx  3 chuck chuck 4096 Oct 22 11:42 ../



If I UMOUNT the share, I can see the folder again:

[root at datacenter apps]# umount sti
[root at datacenter apps]# ls -la
total 12
drwxrwxrwx  3 chuck chuck 4096 Oct 22 11:42 ./
drwxrwxrwx  3 chuck chuck 4096 Oct 22 11:42 ../
drwxrwxrwx  2 chuck chuck 4096 Oct 22 11:42 sti/

But of course, the folder is empty now because it is no longer mounted.  If I mount it again, the folder STI disappears again.

Again, this only happens with shares on our 2003 servers.  All other machines in our domain are mountable without problems.
