Thanks, Corinna, Unfortunately for me this is infeasible. Samba is run here on a Solaris box and I am not root.
But now I know at least what is going on. Thanks again.

Uh, I see. Setup doesn't create symlinks as shortcuts. It still uses the old system file method to create symlinks. The system bit must be mapped by samba to get this right. If you're interested to get it working, see `man smb.conf' on your Linux box and search for "map system".
