[Samba] Empty dir name returned.

[Samba]

The problem I am having is since installing Samba 3.0.14a from a previous version (3.0.10) I am no longer able to access any of my shares, as the contents all appear as a directory with no name this is for both files and true directories.  It is one item per file / dir including . and ..

Initally I thought is was down the the client being Windows XP (SP2) but smbtorture throws errors (sorry I have not got a record but if specific test are needed the I can post the results) also a smbclient returns the same result as XP
smb: \> ls

                37432 blocks of size 524288. 35015 blocks available

If I know the file or dir name I can open these but I just can't list the contents.

I have tried reinstalling, default setting, etc but nothing changes, I can't find any clues from google searches.

The system is a NSLU2 with openslug 1.2 firmware (kernel 2.6.11.2)
The build was a cross compile on a Gentoo x86 PC using bitbake (openembedded)

I am not sure if this is all the information you need to help me solve this problem but I will try to provide any additional information requested.

Thanks in advance
