You're configuration is a little funny, but I don't think that has anything to
do with your problems. I'm assuming that the user you are logged onto XP
with doesn't have access to agbhome.

>From the network traces I've done w/ dfs I see:
1. client connects to samba server (using the userid from /user if one is
   specified)
2. The samba server sends back the dfs referral
3. The XP client initiates a new connect to the target server -- but it doesn't
   use the ID specified with /user.

I have assumed this was a MS bug or feature. They probably assume everyone signs
onto a domain and only connects w/ that userid.

As for your config, since you are using msdfs proxy, I don't think Samba is
ever looking at your symlinks.

Smbclient is probably sending specified userid on all the connections.
