[Samba] strange: failing upload of special profile-dirs

Hi to everyone,

Something quite strange occured to me this weekend as we wanted
to switch our network to w2k ads structure with a sambaserver as
main fileserver running winbind.
The windowsprofiles are supposed to reside on the sambaserver and
the client successfully loads the initial profile.
The first time the user logs on to his machine, he gets some
default .msi-softwarepackages assigned by the Domaincontroller, which
are partly installed or just advertised. A set of folders is created
in the application-directory on top of the user's profile-directory.
Here is the stucture taken (with du) from the sambaserver, after it has been
updated to the fileserver:

./Anwendungsdaten/Microsoft/Installer/{A0D6358E-30FB-44D2-BCCB-25800005B23C}
./Anwendungsdaten/Microsoft/Installer/{2153B9A4-B05E-4654-B332-611B443791A6}

In these directory I can find one or two exe files, obviously containg
the icons of the advertised software.

If the user logs off and the client tries to write the profile data
back to the server, I get the errormessage stating that the above
mentioned directories could not be written, for the path would not
have been found. The directories in fact are created but the exe-files are
not copied to the server. Everything else is in place! I already tried
with chmod -R 777 just to make sure permissions aren't all messed up.
But actually it is just these dirs; everything else successfully is uploaded
so permissions could not be that bad, do they?

Where else is the problem? It really occurs only to these directories.
Maybe it has something to do with the SID-like directory-syntax?
Or maybe there are too many characters in the absolute server path on
linux? (Is there any limitation?):

0       samba_data/resources/homes/muellerr/Anwendungsdaten/Microsoft/Installer/{A0D6358E-30FB-44D2-BCCB-25800005B23C}
0       samba_data/resources/homes/muellerr/Anwendungsdaten/Microsoft/Installer/{2153B9A4-B05E-4654-B332-611B443791A6}

But if I connect via smbclient, I am able to put a file in exactly one of
these directories...
Here are the logfile outputs actually take only with debuglevel of 3.

Maybe this problem has been talked about before, but I didn't know what

Can anyone figre out what all of this does mean?
