Title:
  mount.cifs fails, if just a deeper subdirectory is accessible

Status in cifs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  mount.cifs fails, if just a deep directory is accessible, with "mount
  error(13): Permission denied"

  Example:

  //server/share$/access

  //server: is accessible, for me
  //server/share$: is not accessible, for me
  //server/share$/access: is accessible, for me

  But there is no possibility to force mount.cifs via /etc/fstab or
  directly to use "share$/access" as prefixpath!

  So, mount.cifs try to access automatic this path: //server/share$
  with this prefixpath=access. But //server/share$ is not accessible for
  me.

  But mount.cifs should use via /etc/fstab or directly  "share$/access"
  as prefixpath to get access.

  Note, there is no problem to access the share via
  smb://server/share$/access in Dolphin or Konqueror.
