SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 3.0, character translation is unsuccessful in Server for Network File System (NFS) when the NFS client runs the mv command on a file that contains the &quot;:&quot; character in the file name. When you try to run the mv command on the file, you receive the following error message:

Permission denied



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Server for NFS does not correctly interpret the character translation for the NFS &quot;RENAME&quot; procedure.
