[Bug 334588] [NEW] Don't get write permissions via smbmount on XP-Server, when the shared-folder-name has spaces

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Situation:

Server:

Windows XP Professional SP 3, all updates installed
Folder: c:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Gemeinsame Dateien\ is shared as "dokumente_jupiter"
User "thomas" has full access to this folder (and all subfolders)

Client:

Ubuntu 8.10

When i try to mount the above mentioned shared XP-Folder on my Ubuntu-
Box with the command:

smbmount //jupiter/dokumente_jupiter/ /media/jupiter/ -o
rw,username=thomas,password=xxxxxx,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000,nounix

i don't get write-permissions to the folder:

dr-xr-xr-x 1 thomas thomas    0 2009-02-24 15:14 jupiter

Inside the folder it looks like that:

drwxrwxrwx 1 thomas thomas  0 2009-01-17 14:48 110109
drwxrwxrwx 1 thomas thomas  0 2009-02-25 13:38 24.02.2009 Fasching

drwxrwxrwx 1 thomas thomas  0 2009-01-22 17:42 Oma311208

I thought it has something to do with the spaces in the filenames, but
on the second folder it works with a space in the filename. Perhaps it's
an issue with those weird "virtual folder names" that xp uses: Inside
c:\dokumente und einstellungen\all users\ the folder is named
"gemeinsame dateien", after opening the folder by double-clicking it, it
is named "c:\dokumente und einstellungen\all users\dokumente".
