Description
I checked with the developer of NetDrive, they say this is a feature/issue for the plugin.
My Samba Server has a shared directory \data-share
\data-share has subdirecties
\data-share\data
\data-share\data\bvdata
Using the Netdrive gui,
I can create a resource for \data-share
Share field blank
I can create a resource for \data-share\data
Share field set to DATA
but I cannot create a resource for \data-share\data\bvdata
Share field set to DATA\BVDATA
error code 53

Replying to Bartman:
So I guess \data-share is the only share definied on your Samba server.
Ok, works as designed.
Which means NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME and which is the expected behaviour.
You have to define another share for BVDATA.
Neither IBM-LAN-Requester, nor a Windows client or even Samba's own smbclient.exe can do it the way you want to do that. For all clients known to me, you have to define a separate share on the server.
As the goal of our Samba client is to be compatible with other CIFS/SMB clients, it is very likely that nobody is going to implement such a non-trivial change in behaviour.
Besides that, if the client did work like that, it would be very time consuming, because for every mount operation the subdirectory would have to be traversed in order to find out whether you added garbage or a valid subdirectory.
That's simply not the way it is meant to work.
