yup

yuppers on the sambaserver client directory I dont see 4 files in the 
directory but I see the same 2273 files that I see in /mnt/mybook-music 
and there is no sym link between /mnt/mybook-music/Madonna/Music and 
mnt/mybook-music

and there is no sym link on the server side either.

yuppers - that is the original reason for this thread

yup I am showing the directory is not a sym link as previously suggested 
in this thread.  there is no sym link on the client and/or the server 
file.  there are 2273 files on the sambaserver client side and I am not 
listing them.  I will suppy the 'wc -l' to get the point across as seen 
above.

after your post it feels appropriate to repost all the data again in a 
new thread.

Cheers,

Noah
