Bug#872949: nautilus: "Not a Directory or Filesystem" failures when selecting destination for Copy of Directory using CIFS/SMB to both Debian 9 and Windows 10 systems

[Harrison]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.22.3-1
Severity: important

I am assuming the problem is in Nautilus and not CIFS.  When I attempted to
Copy a Directory on Debian 9.0.0+ TO both a Debian 9.0.0+ and Windows 10
systems, the selecting of the destination Directory failed with a "Not a
Directory" or "Unknown Filesystem" messages.  I was able to Copy the Directory
FROM my Windows 10 system [and probably could have also copied it FROM the
Debian 9.0.0 system] but it was an inconvience.
