I don't think so... the only way to know more about what is happening
would be to run this in gdb.

This looks like an uppercase vs lowercase file extension problem. There
is some logic in MITAB to try to guess and then adjust filename
extensions (e.g. .MAP vs .map) on non-Windows systems that uses stat()
and for some reason it seems to fail with the SMB share.

Can you please try renaming all files for a given table to lowercase
extensions (.tab, .map, .dat, .ind, .id) and then see if that changes
anything with the tab2tab program on the SMB share?

If that solves the issue then we'll need to reproduce this here and run
this in gdb to figure the exact source of the problem and fix it.
