Is it possible you are running Samba with an ulimit?

Add something like this to a share definition - preferable not to the [homes] 
share:

	preexec = sh -c "umlimit -a" >/tmp/mylimit

then connect to this share (remember: when already being connected you will have 
to disconnect the client before remounting to have smbd re-read smb.conf. Watch 
the output of smbstatus!).

Now interpret /tmp/mylimit's contents.

Hasta la vista,
               Robert
