In recent Samba versions it should work fine. If it does not
work with 3.0.28a or later, please tell us.
But please be aware that recent Windows client seem to have
a caching policy that goes beyond notify, so that although
Samba sends notifications Windows would not update the
explorer Window. Someone on this list could reproduce it
against a Windows server as well.
