I'm upgrading from PCNFS to SAMBA and I had the same problem fixed by
seting up smb.conf like bellow


   mangle case = no
   case sensitive = no
   default case = lower

preserve case = yes
   short preserve case = no

It make all files in the
DOS 8.3 format to be stored in lower case and to preserve case for files
not in DOS 8.3 format. It worke very good for us.
