Thanks for you reply. I made an interesting observartion. In my particular scenarios what I actually needed was to mount a sub-subfolder of the share, i.e. //servername/share/subsubfolder. The mount point kept getting corrupted or something in that the mount point got all red in the bash shell, having file size and stuff set to zero. But mounting the subfolder (i.e. //servername/share/subfolder) worked like a charm.
I'm guessing this has something to do with setting on the Microsoft side, but didn't have the time to investigate this further. Has anyone experienced the same thing, and knows what's causing this?
