I don't know what the problem is but I don't think you can call
createNewFile in a loop like this. Or maybe you can but at least it
probably won't do anything after the first call. SmbFile objects are
partially immutable. You cannot call mkdir on the same instance twice,
if you set an attribute in one instance it will not be reflected in
the other and so on. So either move that createNewFile outside of the
loop do "new SmbFile" and and then createNewFile with each iteration.

I'm not sure you can create multiple SmbFileOutputStream objects from
the same SmbFile instance because it will cause writes to use the same
file descriptor on the server but each SmbFileOutputStream has it's
own offset so each write will overwrite the last. I doubt that is what
you intended. Again, this is similar to the previous comment. Create a
separate SmbFile object for each SmbFileOutputStream instance.
