What happens is when you cd onto the mapped drive in the
second (su'ed) window is that the redirector does a sessionsetupandX
call to get a new vuid, then it starts issuing SMB's with
the new vuid and old tid. 

I first saw this about 5 years ago when I was at Vantive
watching an NT service log text onto a Samba mapped drive.
