Hi,
I think that we are going to need to see what is happening at the protocol
level to figure this out.
Can you grab a tcpdump capture or something like that of the packet
activity that occurs, and send it to us along with what an outline of what
you think each process should be doing.
In answer to your question, there should be no significant differences
between the libsmbclient code in 2.2.7a, 2.2.8a and 3.0.0, especially with
respect to what you are doing.
