I think I see what the problem is. The whole Fidonet node system is on c:\bbs on my Windows server. I have created a share "bbs" directly in that folder. Therefore, when I map smb://<server>/smb to /Volumes/smb on my Mac, what I see as root of that share is in fact a subfolder of C:\ on the server. To use mappath I would need to map smb://<server>/c to /Volumes/c on my Mac. There are various reasons I'm unwilling to do that, not least because I don't want to expose the whole OS drive on a remote system.

I had tried this with MAPPATH:
MAPPATH C:\bbs /Volumes/bbs

However, this is what would probably work:
MAPPATH C:\ /Volumes/c

Too bad.

Fermin
