Hallo,
I'm using FreeFileSync 5.9 Build Nov 11 2012 Unicode x64 on Kubuntu 12.10 64bit

I'm trying to sync a local folder "/home/Foto/" with an Hard Disk player using Linux with NTFS filesystem mounted with smb4k into "/home/prova/smb4k/HMB/HDD1(SATA)/Foto/"

My sync strategy is simply copying new files without checking for date modification or for deleted files.

Here my configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FreeFileSync XmlType="BATCH">
    <MainConfig>
        <Comparison>
            <Variant>ByTimeAndSize</Variant>
            <HandleSymlinks>Ignore</HandleSymlinks>
        </Comparison>
        <SyncConfig>
            <Variant>Custom</Variant>
            <CustomDirections>
                <LeftOnly>right</LeftOnly>
                <RightOnly>none</RightOnly>
                <LeftNewer>none</LeftNewer>
                <RightNewer>none</RightNewer>
                <Different>none</Different>
                <Conflict>none</Conflict>
            </CustomDirections>
            <DeletionPolicy>Permanent</DeletionPolicy>
            <VersioningFolder Limit="-1"/>
        </SyncConfig>
        <GlobalFilter>
            <Include>*</Include>
        <Exclude>/.Trash-*/&#x0A;/.recycle/&#x0A;</Exclude>
            <TimeSpan Type="Inactive">0</TimeSpan>
            <SizeMin Unit="Inactive">0</SizeMin>
            <SizeMax Unit="Inactive">0</SizeMax>
        </GlobalFilter>
        <FolderPairs>
            <Pair>
                <Left>/home/Foto</Left>
                <Right>/home/prova/smb4k/HMB/HDD1(SATA)/Foto</Right>
            </Pair>
        </FolderPairs>
        <OnCompletion/>
    </MainConfig>
    <BatchConfig>
        <HandleError>Ignore</HandleError>
        <ShowProgress>true</ShowProgress>
        <LogfileFolder Limit="-1"/>
    </BatchConfig>
</FreeFileSync>
FreeFileSync recognise the correct files to be added but, looking through the filemanager, each file is created and immediately deleted so that the final message is:

\[19:48:39\] Info: Start comparison
\[19:50:49\] Info: Synchronising folder pair:
Left: '/home/Foto/'
Right: '/home/prova/smb4k/HMB/HDD1(SATA)/Foto/'
\[19:50:49\] Info: Creating file '/home/prova/smb4k/HMB/HDD1(SATA)/Foto/2012--/11 Varie/test.JPG'
\[19:50:50\] Error: Cannot write modification time of '/home/prova/smb4k/HMB/HDD1(SATA)/Foto/2012--/11 Varie/test.JPG'.
Linux Error Code 2: File o directory non esistente (File or Directory not existing)
\[19:50:50\] Error: Synchronisation completed with errors!


I confirm that I can copy through the filemanager the files from one folder to the other without any issue (even many and big, several GB, files)

Also with an SD card (but a different folder and MIRROR SYNC strategy) everything is fine.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
