Interesting, since I've had the _same_ problem ever since _I_ upgraded to samba2. I wonder if it hasn't bothered enough people yet! :)

When posting about six months ago I ran into the same difficulties; the samba people suggested either bland workarounds or switching to smbfs (which was a valid suggestion, although not what I was aiming for). This unsupported nature of smbmount is a pain - I just wonder why everybody shuns it.
The whole smbmount area is very murky; the switch to new commandline parameters/format was not really publicized and it made a whole load of people wonder - see the lists when samba2 was released. The new syntax is convoluted IMHO, and yet there has been no sign of integration with the official mount, which does support mounting various filesystem types. Why is anybody's guess - one cause might be the not-exactly-simple aspect of samba. Not that this is _samba_'s fault in itself, just that the consequence is that it's hard to hack on.

Aye, I've done the same tests with the same results always. It doesn't happen with plain Win95 sharing, at any rate.
