Note that canonicalize_snapshot_path() is called *after* any MS-DFS
processing is done, which is why it's safe to do that there.

I think the correct fix here is to search in the SMB2 create
code for a ':' character and if found, insert the @GMT token
before that, otherwise append as we're currently doing.

This will leave the MS-DFS processing working I think.
