This should work - use smbclient -b 130048 to set the write block
size for writes. The max xmit parameter doesn't affect this as
it's beyond the size of any write. Look in the reply_write_and_X()
code in smbd/reply.c to see the conditions imposed on the write
(it needs to be the 14 word varient with 64 bit offset sizes).

I'm out all day so won't be able to respond further until later
this weekend.
