Ok, if I understand you you're re-exporting an NFS mount from the
Linux box to the Windows clients via Samba. Looks to me like the
kernel share mode code isn't working over NFS properly. Can you
try removing the define "#define HAVE_KERNEL_SHARE_MODES 1" from
include/config.h and rebuilding - that should stop it making this
call.
