[Samba] DFS redirection to sub-folders beyond share

Hi,
I already posted this to smb-clients, but I believe that is a very low
volume list.
We have a very complicated dfs root. Now I'm not positive that this is
how we should have done things, but it works very well with Windows
clients, so it hasn't been thought about here. This does not work with
smbclient or smbmount. I'm using freshly built smbclient from Samba
3.0.21a.
Anyway, here is the issue. We have a very large namespace via one root
that is currently active directory based.
We have many dfs links that work like this. Let's say our domain is
called DOMAIN, and the root is called dfs.
\\DOMAIN\dfs <file:///\\DOMAIN\dfs> is then mapped to an empty folder.
>From there, we have many dfs links, such as:
Users\testuser which is mapped in DFS to
\\fileserver1\share\Users\testuser
<file:///\\fileserver1\share\Users\testuser> , which works easily in
windows to seamless take the user who access \\domain\dfs\users\testuser
<file:///\\domain\dfs\users\testuser> to the folder
\\fileserver1\share\users\testuser
<file:///\\fileserver1\share\users\testuser> .
This does NOT work under smbclient. I think that we just need to be
able to map users to something beyond the actual share. It looks like
it could be fixed by modifying the code to handle the slashes correctly
(see the error below). Here is the log from smbclient with the -d 3
debugging option:
sh-3.00$ smbclient //tc.cornell.edu/tc -k -d 3
