Not defective, no.  In my case, I'm suggesting that you turn off POSIX
permissions.  These sometimes cause problems for network drives.  So
do something like this:

   mkdir /foo
   mount -o noacl,binary,notexec //hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck /foo

Then try the same tests using /foo as the root path.

You can find more information about mount options here:
