lower case forced on paths?

I have the following setup in my smb.conf to access automounted partitions.
It works for all cases except where there is a capitalized letter in the
case:

        default service = default
        preserve case = yes
        short preserve case = yes
        default case = lower
        case sensitive = yes
# /auto disks
[default]
        comment = automount partition
        path = /auto/%S
        read only = No
        guest ok = No
        browseable = no

when I try to connect to something like \\samba\v8_C4_ss5 (note the caps) I
am told in the logs that /auto/v8_c4_ss5 doesn't exist.
Of course, it doesn't exist, but the capitalized version does, which is what
was typed in the "Run..." dialog.  Is there any reason that the case in the
mount path is being altered?  Is there any way for me to alter this other
than renaming our mounts and messing up access for our engineers?
