[Samba] Problem with DFS mounting (works OK in smbclient) [samba-3.0.14a-2.1.fc4.kde]

[Thomas Chiverton]

I am having problems mounting a DFS share, even though it works in smbclient 
fine.
After mounting, the mount point (in ls) has question marks for everything, and 
when ls'ing I just get permission denied.
Turning up debug and verbose don't seem to help. Any ideas ?
