It didn't. That error message confused both me and NT.
It's just that braindead Inoculan tries to access that file as guest.
This error code made NT abandon that connection along with the open files, and
create a new
one. :(
So, here's the patch I solved this problem with:

If I see no comment on this in a few weeks, I'll try to register this patch
on the Samba web site
and let the Inoculan people know their software is broken.
samba-bugs@samba.org doesn't work any more. It should be reflected in the
documentation.
Thanks to David M. Davisson for letting us know that anti-virus softwares try to
access the
shares as guest.
