You clearly have a case conversion problem. Samba is observing case when
opening files, which it shouldn't for W95. I don't know anything relevant
that has changed in Samba 2.0 but I suggest you check your smb.conf very
carefully for a duplicate 'case sensitive' statement (it's easily done,
I've done it...) - Samba may be parsing the file differently.
