[Samba] strange files appearing after file copy

Hello,
I just had something strange happen and could not find explanations in
the documentation, FAQs or mailing list.
The server is a Debian installation running Samba 2.2.3 (kernel 2.4.18
if interested). It has been recently upgraded from 2.0.x (I think x=6).
My smb.conf is at the bottom; the directory used is on the [public]
share.
The client runs Win2k (probably SP2).
I copied some files in the windows explorer to an existing directory on
the server. Somehow, I got more files on the server than I copied! And
the had all those funny filenames, like abcd.jpg:{aksdjlkjl}:$DATA in
addition to abcd.jpg that I copied.
Here are some real world examples:
2002_0626_211216AB.JPG:?Q30lsldxJoudresxAaaqpcawXc:$DATA
2002_0626_211216AB.JPG:{4c8cc155-6c1e-11d1-8e41-00c04fb9386d}:$DATA
2002_0626_213753AB.JPG:{4c8cc155-6c1e-11d1-8e41-00c04fb9386d}:$DATA
2002_0626_213759AB.JPG:?Q30lsldxJoudresxAaaqpcawXc:$DATA
2002_0626_213759AB.JPG:{4c8cc155-6c1e-11d1-8e41-00c04fb9386d}:$DATA
2002_0626_213953AB.JPG:?Q30lsldxJoudresxAaaqpcawXc:$DATA
2002_0626_213953AB.JPG:{4c8cc155-6c1e-11d1-8e41-00c04fb9386d}:$DATA
2002_0626_220822AB.JPG:{4c8cc155-6c1e-11d1-8e41-00c04fb9386d}:$DATA
2002_0626_220857AB.JPG:?Q30lsldxJoudresxAaaqpcawXc:$DATA
2002_0626_220931AB.JPG:?Q30lsldxJoudresxAaaqpcawXc:$DATA
2002_0626_220931AB.JPG:{4c8cc155-6c1e-11d1-8e41-00c04fb9386d}:$DATA
The ones with *:{*}:$DATA look like they have a class id between {}, but
they can't be found in the registry. The others I don't readily
recognize.
Some of these files are empty, some contain a few Kb of data.
Also, such files are not created for all files that are copied....
What are these files? Can I safely remove them? Is this due to the
upgrade and are there some new directives that I need to add in the
samba configuration?
Any hints and/or clues are appreciated.
