Hi,

I'm having some odd problems with fam. On my linux system I have mounted some 
partitions that are shared by a Win2k machine on my LAN. With any GUI 
filemanager using fam I can create files and directories, but I can't delete 
directories, only files. If I try to delete a directory, it just doesn't 
work. If I try to delete a directory containing files, the files will be 
deleted  but not the directory. I've tried different GUI filemanagers and the 
only one that returns an informative error message is nautilus which tells me 
the directory is "busy", so I guess fam somehow thinks the directory is used 
by some other process.

If I turn of fam, or use the console, I can delete the directories without 
problems. Also, the problem is only on samba shares, this problem doesn't 
appear in my regular linux file system or on the local windows partitions I 
have mounted. So it seems to be a problem related to fam or samba (or maybe 
rather smbmount).

I have tried fam 2.6.7, 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 on two different machine and all with 
the same error.

Is this a known problem, or am I making some glaring error?

Thanks,

//Andreas
