Hi, I'm getting a windows error code 50 while running RealTimeSync between a
local folder and a samba share. The sync runs fine initially but when it
completes RealTimeSync throws an error "Error when monitoring directories.
(ReadDirectoryChangesW Windows Error Code 50: The request is not supported"
I'm running on Win7 x64, RealTimeSync build 1 Apr 2012 - Unicode x64

RTS first executes the commandline (usually a sync job) before starting its
work. If the error is permanent, i.e. it doesn't go away if you ignore it and
try again multiple times, then this is a limitation of the Samba share.
Generally monitoring directories for changes is supported by the Samba
protocol and is usually working fine. Maybe a firmware/software upgrade on the
device that hosts the data helps.

I can't move a topic, but you may open a repost (or just keep it here, I don't
mind).
