Henrik, have you tried calling smbc_stat() on a symlink to see what it gives
you?  There may be some useful bit set in the mode field.

If that doesn't provide any useful information, please post a bugzilla ticket
for this.  I expect to have a Vista environment available to me fairly soon,
at which time I'll be able to look into this.
