Thank you Frank, That was a good suggestion to make sure the mount wasn't the issue. I tried changing the `client.samba.upload` to have read access directly to '/' rather than '/upload' and to also change smb.conf to directly use 'path = /'. Still getting the same issue (log level 10 content below).
It appears that it is correctly reading `/etc/ceph/ceph.conf`. It does appear to be the ceph_mount where the failure occurs. It would be great to have vfs_ceph working, but if I cannot I'll try to find other approaches.
