samba - Aug 2010 - home share issue: //server/homes errs, while //server/<username> works

Hello list,

I'm running a samba server in AD domain, with some AD users explicitly
mapped into local users by "username map = sambauser.map", which is a
text
file.

Problem is found with explicitly mapped user, I can only access home share
by //server/<ADusername>, not //server/homes (using windows explorer).
This
feels wrong because I also tried those AD users not listed in the map file,
they could access home share either way.

So it's bothering me, any idea what did I miss out anything or it's a
samba
bug?

Forgot to metion that mapped AD user can login with smbclient (huh, better
than with windows explorer), but any further operation will hit the error
below.

 # smbclient //localhost/homes -U <ADusername>
   Enter cifs5's password:
   Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.3-1.1-2362-SUSE-CODE10]
   smb: \> ls
   do_list: [\*] NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND
   Error in dskattr: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND

"smbclient //localhost/<ADusername> -U" works just fine, again.

Samba ver = 3.5.3 and the homes share is a msdfs root.
