Vista - Mac client does not work. Is there any prospect of a fix?

Mac client does not work. Is there any prospect of a fix?

I use FolderShare on a number of Windows PCs, a Mac OS X 10.4 PPC machine and
a Mac OS X 10.5 Intel machine.

FolderShare synchronizes perfectly between the Windows machines. The Macs
used to synchronize perfectly too, but -- as others on this forum have
observed -- at some point in the last few months the Mac synchronization
stopped working. The Mac clients see the changed files, but cannot retrieve
them. So something is broken.

My question is simple. Is there any prospect of a fix? I saw the 'turn off
encryption' suggestion, but this is not acceptable, so I haven't tried it.

RE: Mac client does not work. Is there any prospect of a fix?

I was having this problem and was very frustrated. But I found a solution on
another site. The suggestion if you are willing to open yourself up to this
is to turn of encryption transfer on every client, PC and MAC. When you do
this the Mac starts to not only see the files but also finally downloads them.
