Hi Chris,

This seems to be a special error indicating that the "tree ID" is no
longer valid. A given connection has a specific tree id, and once the
share is revoked the id is no longer valid.

I'll need to rework the smbfs error handling to correct this -- the
error has to be recognized earlier so that a new connection can be
obtained.

Regards,
Bill
