[Samba] Second Copy 2000 problem

[Matthew Western, IT Support, Lonsdale]

Hi All,

I have upgraded a customer from windows 2000 to samba 3.0.4 on fedora
core 2.     Second copy refuses to work.   The log files seem to
indicate that it's trying to access the sharename minus one character.
Second Copy tech support are idiots, of course....

Basically we have a share called data.    When trying to access the
share from second copy the log says can't see service 'dat'.
Bizzaire....

Here is the log.    I said I'd post in the off chance that anybody would
know something....

Here is what I sent to second copy

Hi Support People, I have a client who has just put in a linux server
running samba (version 3.0.3 which is a very recent version) which is
working perfectly for everything. The probelm is they use Second Copy
(license attached for proof of purchase) for backing up the server to a
removable hard drive to take home and it fails to connect to the server.
It pops up an Access Denied message when I can browse happily from
windows explorer. I consulted the samba log file and it appears to be
concatinating the share name somehow, so i thought, OK i'll create a
'fake' share to get around this problem, but the problem still appears.
I have two shares, one called data and one called retailm. you can see
from the log file that both shares are exibiting the same behaviour. Can
you point me to either a work around or let me know when a fix will be
available?
