Hmm - trying this gives me a denied on the very mount itself (due to the 1777 of the directory). And looking at the log level all:99 output - that is because /ssome/where/incoming does not allow opendir() by the default smbd daemon.

Note that the actual use case I am after is a bit different (and accomplish with said patches) - what I need is actually this

Mountpoint:	[/data]

Containing a bunch of files and a directory '/assets/'.

		/data/assets/<uuid1>/...
		/data/assets/<uuid2>/...
		/data/assets/<uuid3>/...

where I do not want people to be able to 'discover' or learn the UUID's - but any entity which knows the UUID can see

		/assets/uuid/<files>

from the above mountpoint. Which on posix you'd accomplish with the same trick as the ftp-incoming.
