Hi Ernst,

my apologies for not responding to your intriguing problem before.

This is quite bizarre. I can assume that Windows / SMB filesharing moves
the interpreting of the wildcards to the server, explaining why the
server can break it.

In any case, I've managed to reproduce this problem on my 2.0g. It seems
to be independent of the filesystem used, it breaks on NTFS, FAT and
ext2. I first tested on a 2.0n, where everything works as expected.
Given that both devices run the same samba version, I suspect there is
some kernel bug causing this problem (introduced between 2.6.21 and
2.6.26, the 2.0n's kernel is older).

I haven't dug into this issue yet, just tried to reproduce it. To help
us keep track of this bug, could you perhaps create a ticket on
http://trac.fonosfera.org with the information you provided?

Regards,

Matthijs Kooijman
