[Samba] Files Missing on smbfs on RH 7.3

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

So nobody has a clue as to what might be causing this problem or how 
to fix it? I am REALLY stuck on this issue! All of our automation 
scripts are now questionable as to their ability to backup and 
process file on the Windows boxes from our Linux boxes.

Desperate for an answer,
