I see a different (old) repository via CIFS

Hi,

When I try to access Alfresco via CIFS (map a drive) i'm not able to see my repository, instead I see a old version of it.
Let me explin better:
I have a fresh Alfresco 4.0c installation on a CentOS 6 machine (I installed it using the installer) and the objective is to transfer all the info from a old 3.4 installation to this new server.

After the installation I tested it and created a folder, after seeing it was all right I:
- Copied the Alfresco 3.4 repository to the new server
- Dumped the Alfresco 3.4 MySQL database
- Imported the MySQL database to the new server
- Changed alfresco-global.properties to use the MySQL database
- Changed alfresco-global.properties to point to the new repository location
- Changed alfresco-global.properties to comment SOLR entries
- Renamed alf_data folder
- Put the MySQL connector in the lib folder

It all works well, I can see exactly the same information from the old server via browser (/alfresco or /share) but when I access via CIFS instead of seeing the folders from the repository that I copied, I see the folder that I created after testing the new installed server.

How can I see a repository (the right one) with the browser and a different one via CIFS?
Please help me on this because I have been more than 6 hours around this and can't solve it, and the new server can't go in production until this is solved.

Are you connecting to the old server by mistake?

No, but even if I was I would see the correct folders and files.

The strange thing here is that by CIFS I see a different folder structure (I see a test folder I created when I installed the new server) than when I use the browser to access Alfresco where I can see the folders and files I copied from the old server.

Why is CIFS showing different files than it is shown by browser access?
