[Samba] Linux not seeing Windows Files

[Michael L. Gauley]

When I use smbmount to mount the Win2K share on my linux box, I see many
fewer files(1000) than there actually are(8000 or so). If I use
smbclient to view the files I see all of them. I look at some of the
files and their names not formatted any different than what lists.
When sniffing packets, I see Transaction2 Response items for directory
listings. I don't see the missing files in the information when packet
sniffing.
