With most files, the virus filter code has to prepend the connectpath.
With streams_depot the connectpath appears to be already prepended, in
the case of the default setting for where the streams are stored. I am
aware it can be outside the connectpath, which is one reason I need to
fix the above.

In the case of smb_fname->base_name (fname above) with streams_depot,
when one is working with the non-default stream, contains a fully
qualified path. In other words, with the default streams_depot setting,
you end up with something like this:

Actual file: /CONNECTPATH/.streams/0F/17/02FD000000000000EF005C0400000000/:attached.txt:$DATA: Eicar-Test-Signature
Appending connect path: /CONNECTPATH//CONNECTPATH/.streams/0F/17/02FD000000000000EF005C0400000000/:attached.txt:$DATA
When not a stream and appending connect path: /CONNECTPATH/actualfile.txt

Is there any way to tell easily when one needs to prepend the connect
path and when one doesn't?

Thank you.
