[Bug 578179] [NEW] No write permission on smbmount on XP machine, if the shared folder is more than 1 word

[Ken Weill P. Lumacad]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

I have a windows xp machine. With shared folders named, "My Documents",
"Private", "Cafe Files", "Softwares". All of these folders have sub-
folders in it. All these folders have read-write permission enabled.
(Allow network users to change my files: shared settings in XP ).

Opening these folders through Nautilus (press CTRL+L, then enter:
smb://192.168.0.15), all of those 4 shared folders are there. But I can
only write to "Private" and "Softwares" folders. I can't write to "My
Documents" and "Cafe Files" directly. I mean, i can't write to the main
folders of "My Documents" and "Cafe Files" but i can write on their sub-
folders.

As I have observed, shared folders with "space" on their names, i can't
write to them. Like "My Documents" and "Cafe Files". I can only write to
their sub-folders, not in their main folder.

No problem with shared folder with one word only. Like, "Private" or
"Softwares". I can write to their main folder and sub-folders.

I hope this information is enough. I have seen old bug report about this
one, but the status is already set to "invalid". We have the same
problem with the reporter of that bug. It's just that his explanation is
not very clear.
