Sorry for the lack of response. I was on vacation.
Yes support has been contacted. They also verified it is a bug and have said it should be fixed at some point.

Yes we are working on it.
We have an idea of what is happening so its about getting it resolved now.
Thanks again,

AlexPe,
We have since purchased an RN516. This problem is becoming a major pain point for us.
On one hand - We really want snapshot access to allow uses to roll back their own files.
On the other hand - Linux users who forget and cd or ls into the root of a share with snapshot access allowed are hanging their shells. Even tab completion for filenames hangs the shell if used when hitting tab in a path that is completed to the point of the root of the share. I have a couple of pretty annoyed users right now.
Are there any workarounds? Is there an imminent fix?
