Sorry, actually it works only a computer but not on another. Both computers
have been rebooted. The symptom is the same: I can see the folder (the link) 
but when I try to change into it, it says the folder has been moved or 
removed.

My smb.conf file is:

[global]
# use default
; security = user
host msdfs = yes

[Share]
path=/var/Share
writable=yes
msdfs root=yes

The dfs link is:

# ls -l /var/Share/Data/2007/OfficeAdmin/pdf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2007-05-23 09:14 
/var/Share/Data/2007/OfficeAdmin/pdf -> msdfs:cladms004\pdf

The level 10 log is:
