1.5.10: Shebangs not detected from mounted network drive


Hi

When a script is accessed through the network drive path name
(/h/tmp/test-script) the shebang is detected and the file mode is seen
as executable, but when the same file is accessed through the mount
path (/home/srackham/tmp/test-script) or a relative path it is not detected.

Can anyone shed any light on this behavior (I searched but didn't come up with anything), is there a configuration option I'm missing? or is
it a known feature or a known bug?


For example I have a network drive (Samba 3.0.0 server) mounted to my
local home directory:

H:\tmp /home/srackham/tmp system binmode

To replicate the problem create a script and view the file
permissions:

  $ cd /h/tmp
  $ cat >test-script
  #!/bin/sh
  echo Hello World!
  ^D

  $ ls -l test-script ../tmp/test-script \
  > /home/srackham/tmp/test-script /h/tmp/test-script

-rw-r--r-- 1 srackham None 34 Aug 11 16:22 ../tmp/test-script
-rwxr-xr-x 1 srackham None 34 Aug 11 16:22 /h/tmp/test-script
-rw-r--r-- 1 srackham None 34 Aug 11 16:22 /home/srackham/tmp/test-script
-rw-r--r-- 1 srackham None 34 Aug 11 16:22 test-script


The same file is seen as simultaneously having and not having execute
permission. Shebang searching seems to stop when a network drive is
encountered in the mount path.

The script still executes correctly through the mount path but the
bash command-line completion does not nor is the execute bit seen:

  $ /home/srackham/tmp/test-script
  Hello World!
