Upon further investigation, samba can only no longer use wildcards of any type or do 
things like 'ls' . Doing
ls /mnt/SHARE/<complete file name>  
works fine whereas
ls /mnt/SHARE/<partial>* 
gives an invalid result.

I wonder if there is still is a compilation option (there was a few years ago) to 
enable/disable wildcards which is either turned off or has been disabled?

If one knows the complete file name on a Centos 3 share then one has no problem. 
Windows boxes (and Linux boxes other than Centos 3) work fine and that is the way most 
admins use samba so this is hardly a crisis. ( Unlike the Ubuntu people who report that 
nmbd is segfaulting on their boxes and apparently have a different problem).
