Package: nautilus
Version: 2.24.2-3
Severity: normal

I have access to subfolders of a Windows 2003 CIFS service:

    //servername/servicename/subfolder

However, I do not have permission to enumerate the contents
of the root-folder (whatever is presented at
//servername/servicename).

Using smbclient, I can access the subfolder directly via

    smbclient //servername/servicename -D subfolder

If I omit -D,

    $ smbclient -U njd33 //turret1/iss
    Enter njd33's password: 
    Domain=[CAMPUS] OS=[Windows Server (R) 2008 Enterprise 6001 Service Pack 1] 
Server=[Windows Server (R) 2008 Enterprise 6.0]
    smb: \> ls
    NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \*

            44698 blocks of size 33554432. 14988 blocks available
    smb: \> cd unix
    smb: \unix\> ls
    (WORKS)

(in the above example, server = turret1, service = iss,
subfolder = unix)

It does not seem possible to connect to this subfolder
using nautilus. If I select "Connect to Server" from Places
and fill in the fields as described (with the share being
servicename and folder the subfolder which I have
permissions within), I get repeated requests for my
password. If I eventually give up supplying these and
select cancel, I get a popup containing

    Cannot display location "smb://CAMPUS;nj...@campus/dept/iss/unix"
    Failed to mount Windows share

At my workplace this share is also exported as a DFS path
//campus/dept/iss/unix (so the 'iss' folder here is a
subfolder of the root-level service, rather than the
root-level service itself). I *do* have permissions to read
the contents of the 'dept' service: the following works
(and I can do 'ls'):

    smbclient -U njd33 //campus/dept

attempting Server campus, share dept, no folder via "Connect
to Server" results in a popup

    Cannot display location "smb://nj...@campus/dept/"
    Failed to mount Windows share

I can't explain why that doesn't work since I can read
'dept' fine. I realise that the permissions in the former
case (no read access for the service-level folder but
permissions in a subfolder) do not make a great deal of
sense: however, that's what I'm stuck with...
