No error message at all. This bug is very annoying in two ways: 1) When you only have smb access to the share you have to delete all files and directories in sub, subsub and subsubsubdirecories by hand to actually delete a directory. 2) You don't get warned that the delete operation failed. In our case this produced a horrible mess in our shares before we recognized what was going wrong. You can find many people complaining in various forums. I found bug reports in bugtrackers of Nemo, Nautilus and Gnome but the root seems to be this (upstream fixed) bug in samba: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13204 Please cherry pick the fix into current version of samba. Thanks a lot for your help!
