Can you access the data if you use smbclient? (get)
If you can read data out of the share with smbclient, but not with smbsh, look
for any differences between the options you use.

smbsh works by intercepting syscalls via a wrapper lib.  One problem that
shows up is that static binaries can't see the /smb tree, since there's no way
to filter the syscalls through a dynamic library.  Although, it seems strange
to me that cp and joe would be statically compiled, while mkdir isn't.
