The SMB protocol has a nearly infinite combinations 
of flags, bits, and commands with each combination
resulting in different behavior.  Samba only implements
those combinations which are (a) documented, or (b) see
by developers.  

Which brings us to the question, what is the 
application and client platform?  I'm sure Jeremy 
will want a a debug trace for a successful op and 
failed op in order to figure out what is going on.
