trouble accessing samba shares with spaces and/or parentheses


Hello Cygwin,

I am experiencing problems with spaces and/or parentheses in samba share names.
Changing the share name is not an option, because they are physical drives, connected to a mac.

The following works fine from a dos box, and also from the gui with 'Map network drive', but fails miserably from the cygwin prompt.

$ net use Q: "$(cygpath -w '//macau/X32 Backup-4(WD)')" "bartels" /user:"bartels"
The command completed successfully.

$ ls q:/
ls: cannot access q:/: Input/output error


This is not a question of privileges or configuration: other shares with vanilla names work fine. The mac logs do not immediately reveal any clues. Considering that the dos box and the gui have access, I am inclined to blame cygwin.

Any ideas?

Thanks
- bartels
