[Bug 478509] [NEW] Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 on Ubuntu 9.10 cannot access profile on CIFS share

[ionospheric]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

The title pretty much says it all.
When the profile.ini file says
..
IsRelative=1
Path=lbw9bxu7.default
it works on the local hard disk.

When the profile.ini file says
..
IsRelative=0
Path=/mnt/NAS/data/Thunderbird/Profiles/mymail
I get the dreaded message:
"Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding"
(which really means that the profile cannot be found)

The network profile works with Ubuntu 9.04 and Thunderbird.
Interestingly, the profile also works with Ubuntu 9.10 and the developer
version of Thunderbird, version 3.0.

My smbfs version is 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.
