I think that is less likely root cause (ie not the reason for your 
evolution failure).  The name collision appears to be the expected cifs 
error of rename hitting an existing file and failing (in that case the 
client has to compensate by calling t2 rename_open_file or delete then 
retry rename if the file is not open).  The logs show the client deleted 
the target file and the rename then succeeded.  My guess is that we have 
to find out which file it wants to be a directory and then see if it in 
fact is a directory on the server and see if we can match it to one of the 
revalidate (lookup calls) we see in the log.
