Is the label of C: "WINDOWS"? Rename it to something else.

The windows machine is returning an directory entry with the bit for
volume set and not as a directory if the name of the unit is the same as a
directory. I consider this a win9x bug.

It can be handled by mapping the volume bit to the directory bit inside
smbfs and there are patches for that. But just rename the partition and it
should be fine.
