Thanks for that Corinna. It's weird; the Win95 shares appear OK, it's only the Win98 share. As I indicated in another thread, I have avoided the problem by using a different workstation as the proxy. I have a different problem with that one though.

All three shares appear OK when I log in using SSH. When I try to run rsync over ssh though, I get errors saying the mount points "vanished" during the transfer.
