Re-export of smb mounted share displays incorrect filetype

[Dion Stempfley]

I have an application  that requires me to mount an SMB share from a
netdisk and then re-export it with samba to other systems.  I know that
sounds convoluted, but that's what I am working with.

Has anyone had any success with this type of configuration?  I've seen
notes in the archive about other filesystems like nfs but not smb.

The linux system I am using is Fedora release 19.  The client systems:
Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux all have problems when they map the shared
drive from linux.

The mount of the files from the netdisk to the linux system work fine.
 Here is my /etc/fstab entry:
//netdisk1/dion /mnt/dion cifs
uid=1000,gid=1000,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,
credentials=/etc/samba/credentials/smbmount.pw,auto 0 0

Then the filesystem is shared in the smb.conf as:

[dion]
path = /mnt/dion
read only = No
browsable = Yes
guest ok = no
force user = nobody


When I map the dion share from a windows system, all of the directories
look like files.  I can create a directory, but it will also look like a
zero length file.  From a command prompt, I can cd to one of the
directories, but windows explorer will not.

Here is the output from a cmd.exe on a windows file system:
Z:\>mkdir test
Z:\>dir
 Volume in drive Z is dion
 Volume Serial Number is 476A-1FC3

 Directory of Z:\

I'm kind of out of ideas for where to look.  It seems like it should work
but it doesn't.
