This could be because of the changes in open flags used to facilitate
the security descriptors patch but from glancing at the code I don't
see a difference in the upper level code. I suspect it's problably a
change in the default flags used in the SmbComNTCreateAndX class. I'll
add this to The List.

It's probably just a matter of adding another flag in
SmbRandomAccessFile.java to the file.open() call. The best way to do
this would be to crank up logging to see what the openFlags of the
SmbComNTCreateAndX command are for the old version that worked and the
new version that doesn't. I bet there's a difference. If so post the
two values here and I'll tell you what flag to add.
