The internal fight between NetWare and DJGPP...
I remember having trouble with an RCS version on a NW 3.11 
server. So could you try to *disable* LFN in your environment
and see if that works? 

Does it work with short names already with LFN=Y ?
I don't have W95 installed, so I cannot try that myself. 

The problem I had, IIRC,  was that the remove() call returned an error
when it tried to delete a write protected file,
so this might be unrelated to long/short filenames.
This might be the reason for the stupid errno.
