[Samba] reiserfs, samba, symlinks and windows

[Jason Gerfen]

I am having a hard time getting a Windows XP virtual machine to follow a
symlink share to a localhost samba share with 'follow symlinks = yes'

I have been googling this for a couple of hours now and have found some
references but not definite fix.

Error from samba:
'/tmp/Desktop' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to
[desktop] Error was Permission denied

System:
Linux Gentoo-x86 2.6.23-gentoo-r3 #3 SMP Thu Jan 3 11:46:35 MST 2008
