Creating a Briefcase on Samba shares?

[Ernie Oporto]

Is there a way to successfully create a working Briefcase on Samba shares?

When I create one in a Samba share, it has a regular folder icon with a
desktop.ini file in it.  Openning it reveals a plain folder rather than the
usual Briefcase applet.  When I create one on a Windows NT network share it
works fine, but all our big filesystems are unix-based Samba shares rather
than NT shares.
