When the filesystem is first mounted, prior to accessing it, it is, according to the filesystem on the thin client, a directory of size zero. Evidently, any file/dir with size zero is presented by samba as an empty file.
The best resolution would be to either:
1. Get supermount to access the drive upon mount, thereby generating a nonzer directory size, or
2. Get Samba to report zero-size directories as directories that can be accessed from the server
SIDE NOTE: One peculiar thing is that when viewing the file thru Nautilus, a refresh of Nautilus can cause the file to be rendered as a directory (evidently accessing the directory somehow via the share). Nautilus uses the Gnome Virtual File System to browse the filesystem rather than simply browsing the filesystem directly, so something it is doing is alleviating the issue....
Also note that code has been added to the hotplug scripts to make sure that this problem does not occur on USB drives.
We'll have it all sorted out in a jiffy... ;)

I have a similar problem too .. as I posted time ago, but nobody seems to know about it ;-(
