You don?t say what version of Samba is running on your server, although it may not be relevant to your issue. I did find something that may be relevant: https://serverfault.com/questions/725927/greyed-out-folder-in-finder-osx-on-network-smb-share <https://serverfault.com/questions/725927/greyed-out-folder-in-finder-osx-on-network-smb-share> What is the date that Finder puts on the folder? You may be able to fix it using the ?touch? command in Terminal.
