please show the contents of file.getAbsolutePath() resp.
file.getRelativePath() and how you mounted the share (mount options).

What I could think of are two things:

1. upper/lowercasing problem
-------
eg. when you told samba to ignore the case, but (maybe) Java doesn't
handle it correctly when using file.exists()

2. wrong path separators
-------
What kind of path separators do you use (backslash vs. forwardslash)?
