[Samba] Samba 3, recycle vfs and symbolic links

Hello!

I recently upgraded my samba system with samba 3, and now I'm starting to use the recycle vfs, that I was not using in my previous instalations. My problem is the following:

I have normaly 3 shares for each user, one is prived, one is for the group (accounting, human resources, etc..) and the last one is public (all can access). 

In the machines, normally using Windows 98, I create one mapped drive tho the users prived share, and each prived share has a symbolic link to the group share and the public share (ln -s /home/accounting accounting). The problem is that when the user goes through the symbolic link from the prived share to the group share, for instance, and deletes a file, the .recycle directory is created in the prived share, but is empty (the file doesn´t goes to the .recycle folder). 

Any ideas of how I can solve this problem? I really would keep just one mapped driver per user, to make things easier for my users.
