I've got the same issue but if I go down 2 or 3 levels, it works (ie
continue to go down the same directory until you see a valid content). Even
better, I can cd into non existing directories and it "works" (as in I
still see the content of the mountpoint).
So using your example, to see the real content of Consultants, I would have
to do this:
cd /mnt/dfs/Consultants/Consultants/Consultants
or this
cd /mnt/dfs/what/ev/Consultants

I haven't looked at the source yet so I'm not sure what's going on there...
