When a pool is imported with shares via smbshare, if they have a 
conflict with an existing share name they will
be uniquified. That is, they will have a number added to the end of the 
name (or replacing the last characters if
the name is at the maximum name length.  The number will make the name 
unique. The administrator would then
need to rename those that need to be changed.   The intent is to not 
allow an import to break an existing
config.
