You mean, it's a client trying to delete a file/directory?

 From what I can see, crossing smbd's log and audit log, the message

does not mean that client was trying to delete that folder.



Or is it rather an internal structure in Samba referencing a file/directory?

Could you provide some pointer to what kind of problem this is?

I possibly agree here.
Only, I don't know what the problem is, so I could not fix it even if I 
was on the MacOS developping team (which of course I'm not).
What I'm asking is not for a fix on the MacOS side; just an explanation 
on what Samba is complaining about. That explanation might eventually 
lead to actions on the client side later.
