SOLVED Strange totally locked folders in Windows share

[Ericloewe]

Found it! Folders with a ':' in it get TOTALLY screwed up by Samba!
Removed the ':' in all folders that contained one and everything works fine now :)

That makes sense (incredible!), since ':' is reserved for drive letters under Windows.

What I don't understand is why the chosen solution was "mangle the filename down to an 8.3"...

Because "Samba" i guess
