Hum, I should have a closer look at this later on. Which samba version
did you use exactly? If the VFS modules have to be mentioned in reverse 
order (i.e. last one is loaded first), then even the official Samba 
documentation is wrong (see 
http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/VFS.html)

Stefan, any comments from your side? :)
