>Does anyone know if this will be possible in future releases of samba?
It's not really a samba issue, it's an SMBFS issue. You may want to check
out the Linux CIFS VFS at http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html
I'm not sure if this can do what you want yet, but you can contact the
author (Steve French) and ask. He's still developing it and input is
appreciated.
