[Samba] Permission denied when opening certain files - NT_STATUS_NOT_A_REPARSE_POINT

[Daniel Bramkamp]

Hi,

I am experiencing a strange issue on our Samba PDC (3.0.24). Today I  
got called up by a user who was unable to open certain files from a  
samba share. He can open .doc, .xls, .pdf, etc. just fine, however, if  
he tries to open a .mdb file or an executable program from that share,  
he gets a permission denied message. Opening the same files from  
another user account logged into the same terminalserver works just  
fine.

I have looked through the logs on the server and found a weird message:

error packet at smbd/nttrans.c(90) cmd=160 (SMBnttrans)  
NT_STATUS_NOT_A_REPARSE_POINT

I could not find anything on the web that relates to this error  
message except source code.

Help would be much appreciated. If more debugging info like logfiles  
or config files are needed, I will happily provide them.

Thanks in advance
