10.7: Accessing Windows shares if files/folders do not appear in Finder

I'm experiencing a problem whereby the Windows shares I use at work mount in the Finder but don't reveal 'child of child' directories. So basically I can't see any of my working files/folders.


Here's a workaround I used in this situation:

Open Terminal, navigate to the share (once mounted) in /Volumes. Navigate to one of the child of child folders (they appear in Terminal but were empty when viewed in the Finder) and type 'open.'

This opens the folder in the Finder revealing the files/folders that were invisible before. In addition, you can now navigate 'up' in the Finder to see the previously hidden parent directory.

[crarko adds: I haven't tested this one.]
