Too late - I bet you to it :-) I just replied to the rsync and Samba
list that it appears to be a bug with Samba

I have duplicated it with smbclient as well as mount.cifs: looks like
the rename operation isn't atomic, and there's some error conditions
being missed.

I got Ethereal up and can see Windows returning all sorts of errors
about files being locked/etc - Samba just ignores them

Followups on the samba-technical list :-)
