samba - Jun 2003 - Permissions and long filenames

I'm mounting my Win XP shares with the following syntax

mount -t smbfs -o uid=500,gid=500,username=me,password=mypwd
'\\myserver\My Documents' /myserver/mydocs


All of the shares are working correctly except for the My Documents
folder, which only has read permissions. All the shares are on a FAT 32
partition, and all have the same security settings (the Everyone account
has full control).

The only difference I can see is that My Documents has a long file name.

Could this be the problem?

It appears that Samba has a problem if the My Documents folder is a
Windows "Special Folder". Once I stopped pointing the My Documents
desktop icon to it, making it just a normal folder called My Documents,
the problem disappeared.
