Anton will be asleep, so I'll attempt to answer this one.
What server code is the OES CIFS server running ? I thought Novell CIFS services were all Samba based.
We have been told by the people upstairs who run the server that it isn't. I have a recollection that it may be a forked version of the samba code, but don't rely on my recollections.
Either way it is sitting on top of NSS, a Novell filesystem, which is significantly different to "normal" Linux filesystem. I don't know that this is the issue, but it is a difference which may affect things regardless of the fileserver code.
