Hi Ashley,
I don't think I have an answer for you, but I had a similar
experience. We had a 2000 server set up that was sharing files to
macs. I decided to rsync back it up to a more normal
environment(*nix). I had all kinds of problems. I tried mounting the
share via smb as you are trying. I tried cygwin/rsync on the 2000
machine, still had problems, though I think they were fewer, and it
seems now that rsync was changing versions fast under cygwin at the
time(may work good now?). I think a lot of the problems had to do
with naming conventions and resource forks. I just pitched the 2000
server in the bucket and let the mac users use the Samba share from
*nix if they were OSX, and earlier OS's use netatalk. Works like a
charm. The mac users had to rename some files :) some of thier files
were named really nasty ie. ( Carrrot Slicing photos/jaja's food
plant/Feb. 3/2001.ext ) Do you have cygwin on the server? I would
probably try it and see if it can read the files. If you are
intending on using rsync, should be much cleaner/faster if it is
running on both ends.
