[Samba] Massive confusion with samba mounting

Thanks for the tip, adding "unix extensions=no" on the Mac OS smb.conf did
the trick.

Much appreciated.

You might want to try disabling UNIX extensions when you mount the share, I
think that will make the symlink show up as a directory.

AFAIK, smbclient doesn't use UNIX extensions so that could explain it.
