[Samba] SMBCLIENT du, recurse and mask

[dave mathis]

Hi Jeremy,

I set up a bugzilla account but the password hasn't arrived 12 hours later.
And yes, I checked the address and it appears to be correct.
Bugzilla even tells me there is an account with the expected name.

I have script output that shows my problem with smbclient du.
I can send that to you, or anyone else.
