It is the same request from the cifs client in both the successful and
unsuccessful cases. trans2, findfirst2, infolevel of 261 and search count
of 150.
So nothing has changed from what is emanating from cifs client.

In the error case, Windows XP responds with search count of 142 whereas
in successful case, Windows XP responds with search count of significantly
less number, e.g. 36.

Are files/directories in  jobs  directory less now i.e. has anything changed
in this directory on the server 192.168.0.11 i.e. have files been deleted,
directories removed etc. since the failure was noticed the very first time?
