win98-samba long filenames won't execute

Hello, my name is Gavin Williamson.
I have a Samba problem, and wonder if you would help me.

I use Red Hat 7.1 and Samba 2.2.1a.
I copy win98 files with long filenames into a share called /home/poobear , eg copernic2001basic.exe
When I try to open this file nothing happens. If I rename to copernic.exe then it works.
This means I have to drag folders back to my win98 machine before I CAN USE THEM properly.

I have tried map system, map hidden,  map archive, also different masks, each time restarting smb to take effect. Nothing seems to work.
here is smb.conf following:
thanks
Gavin
