mount.cifs fails, if just a deeper subdirectory is accessible

[themroc]

mount.cifs fails, if just a deep directory is accessible, with "mount error(13): Permission denied"

Example:

//server/share$/access

//server: is accessible, for me
//server/share$: is not accessible, for me
//server/share$/access: is accessible, for me

But there is no possibility to force mount.cifs via /etc/fstab or directly to use "share$/access" as prefixpath!

So, mount.cifs try to access automatic this path: //server/share$ with this prefixpath=access. But //server/share$ is not accessible for me.

But mount.cifs should use via /etc/fstab or directly "share$/access" as prefixpath to get access.

Note, there is no problem to access the share via smb://server/share$/access in Dolphin or Konqueror.
