I had a similar problem that clients failed to run a software package from
a share sometimes. Every client opened about 45 files when the program was
running, and after about 20 computers connecting the servers' global file
table was full - leading to very confusing error messages. Look how man
files are opened from samba using lsof of smbstatus, may be you have to
raise the system limit (echo 2048 >/proc/sys/kernel/file-max on Linux)
