First time i call it this method returns false, the second time i invoke exists method it returns a proper value. Sometimes it returns a wrong value in any case. I've checked the file - it is created with the constructor SmbFile( "smb://", <full_filepath> ) with correctly defined domain name, username and password, and path to this network resource. Despite the described situation when I call method exists() on this resource it returns false. I am sure that this resource exists on the remote host and I have rights to read it.

No but I'll look at it. There have been similar reports regarding
canRead() (which calls exists()). I'll be doing testing and bug hunting
for the next couple of days after which I'll post a beta 4. I'm sure
I can squash it as long as I can reproduce it. If someone can come up
with a trivial example program that illustrates the problem that would
help immensely.
