OPENDIR() using a cifs file system mount

[Craig Tooker]

I agree with Chris about the odd behavior of Windows based NAS but if 
you are going to mount as a NFS filesystem, be *very* careful not to use 
any locking as it's unreliable across FTP.

Atomic operations are fine (although slow), like renaming and deleting.

I'd look into any NAS options for managing case and/or mount options 
using CIFS to control presented case.
