samba - Dec 1999 - cp --recursive

Hi,
I'm trying to copy several files froman NT4 to Linux using
"smbmount //winnt/dados /mnt/tmp -o username=foo,password=bar"
and then "cp -R *.mdb /home".
This is one of my backup steps.
The problem is it won't go recursive. It just copies the files on the
first dir.
I'm using Samba 2.0.6 connecting to NT4 SP3.
Is this a known bug/feature?
Can anyone try this, please?
Thanks,
Pedro.

Do you have directories named "*.mdb" ?  If not, then the cp is
working
correctly.  Sounds like you want something more like:

  find /mnt/tmp -name '*.mdb' -exec cp {} /home
