Description
When sharing a file via Samba that was mounted using this package, Samba misinterprets the nature of the directory in which the file is mounted, considering it a file rather than a directory and thus preventing access to the actual underlying file.
Additionally, when performing an 'ls -l' on the grandparent folder containing a mounted file, an error is produced for each mounted folder.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a file mounted using this package, Samba, and an ls -l on the grandparent folder. Investigate how the mounted directory is reported to Samba and why listing the grandparent produces errors. Done means Samba can access the underlying file and ls -l completes without errors.
