NetHood is special. You might also see my (unanswered) mail about DOS 
Attributes for directories I posted here some weeks ago. It boils down to the 
fact that WinXP (and maybe W2K does it too?) creates directories in NetHood, 
which *need* to have the "System" attribute set to make the links work. The 
directories contain the actual link as a file called "target.lnk". 
Unfortunately there seems to be no way to retain the "System" attribute with 
samba, as "map system" only works for files, not folders.
If you find a workaround, I'd be glad if you could share your experience!
