Anton will be asleep, so I'll attempt to answer this one.

We have been told by the people upstairs who run the server that it isn't. 
I have a recollection that it may be a forked version of the samba code, 
but don't rely on my recollections.

Either way it is sitting on top of NSS, a Novell filesystem, which is 
significantly different to "normal" Linux filesystem.  I don't know that
this is the issue, but it is a difference which may affect things 
regardless of the fileserver code.
