  Specifically on a NAS over SMB?  Or are you talking about something you've 
seen happen on your local hard drive, which would very likely be a completely 
different problem?

  Say, you /could/ have mentioned it a little sooner ...  you've had nearly ten 
years now to write a bug report, y'know!

  The only time I've ever seen anything like this is when I've messed up, and 
the directory hasn't actually been empty, and I only thought it was because I 
forgot the -a flag to ls, or I've mistyped something or forgotten some perms.  
Pilot error every time.  That's not to say it's impossible, and my first line 
of attack would be "Is this one of those versioning NASs and is it perhaps 
treating the directory as 
not-really-empty-because-you-might-want-to-roll-it-back-I-wonder?".

    cheers,
