Thanks, but I knew about that difference between %g and %G. The odd thing
is that %g.bat used to work fine (and was getting expanded to the group of
the user logging in), while at 2.2.2 %g.bat expands to system.bat or
root.bat (the group of root, what the "primary" smbd daemon runs as). At
2.2.2 I need %G.bat to get the file related to the user; I would prefer %g
in case there is a difference.
