That patch works for me as well:

tron@lyssa:~tron#mount_smbfs //xxxx/babylon4 /mnt

tron@lyssa:~tron#ls -l /mnt/backups

I can even read files without problems:

tron@lyssa:~tron#gzip -tv 
/mnt/backups/colwyn-20090626-040230/root-20090626-040230.dump.gz
/mnt/backups/colwyn-20090626-040230/root-20090626-040230.dump.gz:       OK

Can you please ask for a review on "tech-kern" and eventually commit
this change?

        Thanks in advance
