My thanks to all "toasters" out there that responded. Of all, Rahul was closest.
Before we set up an actual volume and "home directory", we had created some standard shared folders for testing. Apparently it's not a good idea when you have a folder shared out as \bass\username and are using cifs.home_dir at the same time (which effectively creates a share by the same name). I removed the share (created in Server Manager) and was able to delete either folder. What was funny is that it seemed that the NT share(in Server Manager) took precedence over the cifs.home_dir share. In other words, going through Network Neighborhood would bring up the folders in the old share rather than those in the home directory share.
Thanks again...

Hi Paul, If this is a explicit CIFS share then you have to unshare this shared folder from the Server manager and then delete it. Let me know if this helps. Rahul

I can't delete a folder in one of my volumes. I'm trying to delete it from Windows Explorer and I get an error that, "Cannot remove folder blahblah. There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use." I have checked the CIFS sessions and check Server Manager, and neither one of these shows that it is in use. Any thoughts (short of stopping and re-starting CIFS) on how I can free this up to delete it?
Thanks!
