[Samba] Unable to write to share having same name as directory?

[John Klimek]

Thanks again so much for the help and for testing.  I'm really confused
though.  I'm wondering if my ZFS mounts are causing the problem?

I've created three test shares:

[console]
path = /stuff/console
read only = No

[documents]
path = /stuff/documents
read only = No

[something]
path = /stuff/something
read only = No

...and here are the permissions:

drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 4096 Nov 10 12:31 console/
drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 4096 Nov 10 12:33 documents/
drwxrwxrwx  3 root root 4096 Nov 10 12:36 something/

The only one that allows me to write files is the something folder.  That's
also the only name that doesn't exist on ZFS.  Here are the ones that do
exist:

storage/console on /storage/console type zfs (rw,noatime,xattr,posixacl)
storage/documents on /storage/documents type zfs (rw,noatime,xattr,posixacl)

Does that provide any clues or make any sense?
