I figured it out.  I had the soft disk quota limit set less than the 
hard limit.
It appears samba does not recognize the soft disk quota limit, but when
I proceeded to try to exceed the hard limit with samba, it did correctly 
give
me an error.  It would be nice to use the soft limits to warn users their
limit is approaching, but having a hard limit will have to suffice.

smb: \> put termcap termcap11

putting file termcap as \termcap11 (0.0 kb/s) (average 4379.4 kb/s)

Error writing file: NT_STATUS_DISK_FULL
putting file termcap as \termcap12 (0.0 kb/s) (average 2919.6 kb/s)
