"They?" Does "what" reside on an NFS mount?

I have only shares with local XFS filesystems (as large as 250G.)

>what kernel? what samba version?

The system in question is a Debian i386 "stable" (3.0) system, kernel is 
2.4.20 release (with some patches such as EVMS and XFS, but EVMS is NOT in use 
for shares exported via Samba!!), Samba is 2.2.7a (a Debian package that I 
created myself.)
