[Samba] Impossible to access folders

I've actually seen this a number of times.

Change your share name in smb.conf from [Share] to [share] and I'll bet
it works fine.

I haven't picked it apart as to why this happens, but it seems like
there's something about the case sensitivity/ insensitivity between *nix
and *doze that disagree when the share is defined with mixed case.

Has anyone else seen this besides me?  It seems fairly consistent
between versions and flavors of Linux and Samba in my experience.

HTH,
Rubin
