LookupCacheEnabled did not work.  Same issue.  Maybe I'll try to mount them 
via NFS (I'm not married to CIFS, I mostly work in Windows and it worked the 
best for connecting with the rest of my computers).

In the long run it won't matter, I'm probably going to move transcoding back 
to the MBE and have this SBE just do commflags once I can get th eissue I'm 
seeing in the other thread resolved.
