[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#504690: [smbfs] mount.cifs fails to mount MS DFS shares (object is remote)

[Ulrich J.Meier]

Package: smbfs
Version: 3.2.4-1
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
unable to mount microsoft dfs share

as root:
mount -t cifs -o credentials=/root/user.txt -o workgroup=WG -o rw  
//test.domain.de/DB_001/Project/BO2 /root/bo2

error message: object is remote

the same share can be accessed using smbclient.

(Ubuntu 8.1, official release-no beta, does not work either)

PS: same bug opened unter kernel package - I do not know
where the bug is really located.
