%prt -> rt (%p expands to nothing because whatever it is supposed to go to is
empty on this system)
%%prt -> %%prt (extra % must suppress expansion)
%%pprt -> %%pprt (see above - if expansion was not suppressed this should
work in my case, with %p empty)
Conclusions:
(1)It looks like %% is supposed to work, expansion is supressed but one of the
'%' should be dropped.
(2)Version 2.2.0 of samba does not allow a symlink in a path statement of a
share - earlier versions did.
If (1) is a bug, has it been fixed in later versions?

hmm. *if* samba uses the same semantics as c format strings, then "%%"
should yield a single per-cent sign. but i can't test atm, and you might
want to try it yourself on a test box before hosing your production system....
