readBmpx and writeBmpx are not trans2 call, but standard SMB calls.
No Windows client ever emitted them over a TCP (stream) connection.
Even in Samba3.0 readbmpx is disabled by default. Are you sure these
are the calls you're seeing ? So you have a wireshark trace of this ?

Do you have "read bmpx = true" set in your smb.conf ?
