If even the native Windows tool fails... Definitely not ar since that's a generic problem, not a binutils tool problem. I have my doubts that we really should workaround anything here. The first question is, what *exactly* is the problem we should workaround? If it's only a permission problem there's nothing to workaround for us. > D'oh!

NFS doesn't support ACLs so there's no such thing as Windows security settings. The actual relevant settings are in the SFU or SUA MMC snap-in. Actually, if you ask me, your goal is to get the native ren working. If you can't get this working, you will have to ask Microsoft, IMHO.
