This is *NOT* an error message from samba - BUT FROM LINUX !!!

You have to increase the value of the kernel variable MAX_OPEN_FILES and
then recompile your Linux-Kernel and reboot with your now kernel.

Unfortunately I have no idea where the find/edit the kernel variables in
Linux. But some Linux-Guru might help you here!
