Can't get mount_smbfs to work under Leopard
I hope this is the right forum for this question; I'd love if someone could direct me elsewhere if you know where.
One of my projects involves importing data from files located on a Windows 2000 server on our intranet and then creating management reports. Because the data I'm importing changes several times a week, I wrote a Ruby script to mount the SMB share and import the data, using mount_smbfs.
It's not my server and I can't change any of its names. The server is called just "SERVER," and the directory I want to mount has the format "ABC (D)" (yes, that's an imbedded space).
So the command line command is
This worked FINE under Tiger. Then I converted to Leopard.
It took time, but I got my project working fine under Leopard. I can do the import so long as I manually copy the files from the server to the program directory on my iMac: the iMac has no problems seeing the server. But when I try the above command line (either in the script or directly in Terminal), I get an error:
It gets worse. I tried using some of the other Mac tools to mount the server at /Volumes/server. Now I have another directory under /Volumes/server, also called "server". Any time I try to access or remove the directory (even as root), I get the following error message:
What in the world does that mean? It's even there after shutting down and restarting the iMac. I tried calling Apple about these apparent new Leopard bugs and got the runaround. Any thoughts/suggestions?
