I have created a script that scans through the repo. over cifs and remove ._ and .DS files form the repo. Works rather good.. except i am having major problem with cifs after upgrading from 2.1 to 3.0

#!/bin/sh
# This script walks through the alfresco directory and delte all meta-files created by
# OS X, cifs/smb/webdav clients
#
# Created by Egil Hasting @ frontbase no
# 2008

ALFRESCO_MOUNT="/mnt/alfresco.files"

TIME_NOW=`date '+%y%d%m_%H%M%S'`
FILE_NAME="Deleted_AlfrescoFiles_$TIME_NOW.txt"

# echo "Finding OS X meta-files and log the file names to $FILE_NAME…"

#example
#/usr/bin/find . -not -mtime -168 -delete

mount $ALFRESCO_MOUNT

/usr/bin/find $ALFRESCO_MOUNT -name "._*.*" -or -name ".DS*" > /tmp/$FILE_NAME
echo "— End of log —" >> /tmp/$FILE_NAME
# echo "Delete files…"
/usr/bin/find $ALFRESCO_MOUNT -name "._*.*" -delete
/usr/bin/find $ALFRESCO_MOUNT -name ".DS*" -delete

cp /tmp/$FILE_NAME $ALFRESCO_MOUNT/Logs
rm /tmp/$FILE_NAME

umount $ALFRESCO_MOUNT
