samba: Operation not permitted (was: Re: vfat -> cp: file: Operation not permitted)
Hello,
Some time ago, there was discussion of the "Operation not permitted" error
on FAT partitions, and someone suggested the `quiet' option.
Does such an option exist for Samba? (smbfs)

I ask because I'd like to be able to use `mv' to move files. If it can't
set permissions on the destination, mv behaves like cp.
