John,

I have come across this problem in a slightly different setting.
I have Samba 2.09 running on a HP-UX 11.11 box which all our users use as a shared file repository.
Everything worked just fine until I installed XP SP2 on my PC.
Now I have the very problem you mention.
On investigation, it appears that it is a Samaba bug and the resolution is to upgrade to Samba version 2.2.12 or above.
I haven't managed to do this successfully yet as I get a problem with a missing libiconv.dll library.
The problem can be avoided by just using the 8.3 naming convention for files but who wants to do that?

I hope this helps in some way.

Cheers,

John Dunlop

John, you asked :

I have a problem with a Samba share on on an MPE system.  I have set up this 
particular directory with guest access (both read and write), and MGR.SAMBA 
has PM capability.  When accessing the directory from a Windows machine, I 
have full access -- I can add, modify and delete files.  The one exception I 
know of is one particular PC.  It is an older machine that is still running 
Windows 2000.  It can create and modify files, but can't delete them.  The 
error is, "Cannot delete <file>.  The mounted file system does not support 
extended attributes."
