preexec stopped working

i have/had a share setup that was working fine for a number of months.  The
share involved the use of a preexec and a postexec script..

in the past week it has failed and the only thing that keeps the share from
working is the enable/disable of the preexec command..

without the preexec command in the smb.conf the share gets mounted, not the
way that i want, but mounted none the less. (postexec is also commented out)
with the preexec included the share fails.  the script can be as simple as
an cd command and the mount will fail.  saying the share does not exist.

the log file reveals nothing to substantial to my eye.  the basic trouble
shooting exercises reveal nothing either.  the preexec script works from the
command line on the server box.  the preexec script even seems to have been
executed by the attempt to connect.  but the connection fails.

i did not change anything with the system within the past week.  i am at the
moment clueless..

any ideas??

thanks.
