	Whoops, I was wrong in the previous message:
	it looks like a samba-side problem!


/*******************************************************************
 Utility function used to decide if the last component
 of a path matches a (possibly wildcarded) entry in a namelist.
********************************************************************/
BOOL is_in_path(char *name, name_compare_entry *namelist)

	The functiont looks for name in namelist, and
	almost every other list passed in is empty!

	This caused it to return false, and probably
	not return the name to Windows.

	This look sorta un-good... Abdul, what	version
	samb are you running?  Folks, has anyone fixed a
	bug on this lately?
