This bug was fixed in CVS and will be part of next release: 1.1.13

If you want to fix it now, add 'EOPNOTSUPP' to the list of error codes
that starts around line 54 in robust.py. It's a big list in the function
 catch_error(exc) ... you can't miss it.

That is a different symlink bug that also affected CIFS.
