samba - Sep 2002 - Win95 .bat Issue

For some reason I'm getting Access denied errors when I try to execute a
.bat file that resides on a TRU64 samba share, from a Win95 command prompt.
The drive is mapped as x:\ & for the sake of testing, the directory has been
recursively set to 777 (chmod).

Command prompt output:

x:\> x:\r235\src\ntprpst\sharc\mta\src\build_sharc_fta.bat
Access denied - x:\r235\src\ntprpst\sharc\mta\src\build~XM.bat
X:\>
X:\> x:\r235\src\ntprpst\sharc\mta\src\no_such_file.bat
No file of directory - x:\r235\src\ntprpst\sharc\mta\src\no_such_file.bat
X:\>

Normally, I would assume this is some 8.3 filename quirk, but what's odd is
where that ~xm.bat comes from.  Why no ~1.bat, like standard Win9x format?

Here are some Samba debugging info (log level 3):

[2002/09/25 18:03:37, 3] smbd/dir.c:dptr_create(487)
  creating new dirptr 195 for path r235/src/ntprpst/sharc/mta/src,

  unix_clean_name [/R235/SRC/NTPRPST/SHARC/MTA/SRC/BUILD~XM.BAT]


I'll also state that I was able to move r235 (top directory) over to the
localhard drive with no problem.  And the Access denied went away as well.

Any suggestions?

Hi, 

i had a similar problem month a ago.
The reason was an uppercase/downcase-problem.
WinNT & W2K & XP don't have any problems with it,
but Win9x/Me do ...

Look if you have an "preserve case = yes " entry 
and change it to no ..
