Tried both ways, no difference in either case.  The first one causes the 
exception with or without the slash.  The second lists files and 
directories...with or without.

Against a Samba server, I can perform the same types of actions and--once 
again--the trailing slash doesn't make any practical difference.  Against 
Samba, however, the general form

  java List smb://userinfo@hostport/share[/]

works just fine.

I'll have to look at the RFCs again.  I'm not sure what they have to say 
about the placement of trailing slashes.  Hmmm...
