Thanks for your quick response. It will take me a while to investigate this. My gut feeling is that what they have configured is not going to work for the scope of what I need to monitor.
Thank you, Patrick R.

What you could do is use a SMB/CIFS client like jCIFS(-ng) or SMBj (I think there are also some minimal NFS clients) and implement the listing monitoring. Commons-vfs provides some functions for that. Alternative is using WebDAV, ftp/s or sftp as application protocols with their associated libraries (also supported in commons-vfs). I can't recommend VFS for all transactional/automated loads and using an underlying lib might be easier and better in your case. If none of that works for you, maybe a fuse solution is also acceptable or - under Linux - mounting sub fikesystem while specifying the mount credentials. Gruss Bernd Thomas, Patrick R wrote on 13.
