What is in errno (presuming that fopen has returned NULL)?

Since you have not stated what the problem exactly is (fopen succeeds,
so what *is* the problem?), it is hard to tell whether anyone will
vote for 'wow'...

However, it sounds like the problem is specific to the fact that the
program runs on a Windows client with a Unix file server (Samba?), so
better ask in a Windows programming group or in the newsgroup for the
file server in question.
