Subject: Re: Accessing a file server with ruby

You are using SMB share transparently, that confirms it.
new ruby probably uses diffirent filesystem calls to WinAPI that's why 
It can transparently use smb shares, use SMB bindings or just upgrade 
ruby - it's quiteeasy and there's bunch of tutorials out there.
