Curious. I wonder if this is related to problems me and others have been having
when trying to keep linux / windows shares in sync using rsync? In short, we
would try to sync up, and some files that weren't modified would get
re-sent,
or even deleted, even when they still existed. The next pass, the deleted files
would get re-sent, and a totally different set of files would be deleted even
though the exist, repeat.
We have not found a resolution, and aren't sure if it's samba, rsync, or
both.
Also using samba 3.
