Bug#728609: CIFS/SMB mounts on a domain to sub-folders broken again

[Jonathan Dowland]

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.16.3-1+b2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hi,

With gnome 3.8/sid and the reported gvfs version, connections to my
work domain's SMB servers that used to work do no more.

The URLs that fail are as follows

> $ gvfs-mount 'smb://CAMPUS;sjd33@campus/software/compsci'
> Password required for share software on campus
> Password:
> Error mounting location: Failed to mount Windows share: No such file or directory

The issue is that my user does not have permission to read the contents
of //campus/software, so compci is not enumerated. However it exists and
I have permission to access it. (I'm sure I remember this happening with
an earlier version of gvfs, but it was resolved for wheezy's. I'll
confirm this next time I'm at work by rebooting or chrooting to my wheezy
/)

If I mount the parent directory (which succeeds), 'software' is empty and
attempts to append 'compsci' in nautilus get the following

> Unable to find the requested file. Please check the spelling and try again.
> Unhandled error message: No such file or directory
