[Samba] smbd trying to use incorrect am-utils paths

[Geoff Ransom]

Hello
   I am running samba on a RHEL 3 system and am having problems with file 
systems that are automounted by am-utils.

   [staff at hcil www]$ /usr/sbin/smbd -V
   Version 3.0.9-1.3E.12

   [staff at hcil samba]# cd /fs/icdlraid
   [staff at hcil icdlraid]# pwd
   /a/icdl/export/raid

smb.conf has an entry for this filesystem as...

   [icdlraid2]
         path = /fs/icdlraid2
         public = yes
         writable = yes
         browsable = no

And the error that shows up in the log is...

   [2007/04/04 16:51:12, 0] smbd/service.c:set_current_service(51)
     chdir (/a/icdl/export/raid2) failed
   [2007/04/04 16:51:12, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(841)
     catoctin (128.8.130.207) closed connection to service icdlraid2

/fs/icdlraid2 is one of the paths I want smbd to use and it does the initial 
mount correctly. After some idle time, the automounter unmounts the filesystem 
and the /a/icdl/export/raid2 path is no longer valid. smbd is trying to use 
the back end path instead of the original /fs/icdlraid2 path which would make 
the automounter remount the file system. When this happens, the user has to 
remount their smb mounts to start using it again.

Are there any options available to affect the path used in this case?

Thanks
