Attached is a level 10 debug of a search operation. The directory in question
("TESTNA") does not exist (Message: Intermediate not found TESTNA). Samba
returns a search result of 0 entries. Doing the same against windows 2000
returns "Directory not found". I have one applcation, which relies an this
behavior. The following patch solved this.

This patch has not been tested intensivly and someone who has more insight into
this code should look into this.
