You could try to use the smbclient and operate that ftp like syntax,
although if you're doing something like I was, which was creating a tar
file on the mount, that doesn't help you much. Of course you could
always go the route of using nfs since you're going between two nix
boxes here.
I believe I read that the error is actually in the kernel.org source
tree, and not necessarily in any distributions particular tree. Could
anyone confirm that statement with more authority?
