Well it sort of worked.

cd'ed to //fileserver/common/group/sysops

> touch foo
> rm foo
> touch " foo  "
> rm " foo "
rm: cannot remove ` foo ': No such file or directory
> touch foo.
> rm foo.
> touch " foo "
> ls -l " foo "
-rw-r--r-- 1 ???????? ???????? 0 Apr  7 18:23  foo 
> rm " foo "
> touch foo.
> ls -l foo.
-rw-r--r-- 1 ???????? ???????? 0 Apr  7 18:24 foo.
> rm foo.
> touch " foo "
> rm " foo "

Slightly wierd it failed initially and then started to
behave. Fileserver is a centos 5.24 box running:
samba-common-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1

Also one weird thing, not sure it's relevent but... I noticed if I
typo'ed the 'cd //fileserver/bad/path' and got a permission denied
error, it hung the bash shell. The cd didn't return to the prompt. In
one case at least it killed the bash shell.
