Ummm, what version of Samba and thus libsmbclient are you using?

libsmbclient has no hard-coded values in it in this regard, however, the 
underlying libsmb routines that it uses were not fixed to use the correct 
SMBwrite and SMBread formats to handle large offsets until Samba 2.2.8, I 
believe, and Samba 3.0alpha 21 or 22, I think.
