I have this same issue on 1.5pre5 on a LinuxPPC 2000 Q4 PowerMac 7300
(binary built with rpm --rebuild, then installed with rpm -i). Additionally,
copying files to the server creates an empty file despite the warning. And
deleting files results in a privileges warning -- but the files trash
anyway. And emptying the trash does not succeed. But dismounting and
remounting the volume, after such a sequence, shows the files were indeed
deleted. _But_ not for directories containing (empty) files: the files must
be trashed first (producing the false warnings) and then the empty directory
may be trashed.
The good news: I can now do encrypted logins! Can't wait until the rest
works smoothly. Keep up the good work fellas!
