gvfsd-smb copies directory as empty file (sles10 cifsd)

[Mick K]

Binary package hint: gvfs

Problem occurs ubuntu 9.04 (i386 & amd64) & 9.10 beta (i386 & amd64) (1.4.1-0ubuntu1)

When copying a directory from a gvfs smb mount , destination is created as an empty file with the same name as src directory
Both nautilus copy and gvfs-copy create an empty file with the name of the src directory
However using: "cp -r ~/.gvfs/share\ on\ server/folder /tmp" it does work correctly

smb share is on a novell sles10 server (novell patches applied as of 1 october 09)
Have no problem with other samba shares - only seems to be with novells cifsd . It might be their broken implementation, however there is no problems when copying folders using cp or when share is mounted using mount.cifs so I am not too sure

Please let me know if there is any further information I can provide at all.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

This issie is fixed in utopic (14.10). At least it works with samba from OS X 10.10.
