This is not a samba problem. Unless someone here happens to know the
answer you may want to try:

+ Searching the linux-kernel mailinglist archives for others that may
  have reported the same thing.
  Searchable archive at:
     http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/index.html
  or choose some other archive from:

+ Post a bug report to the linux-kernel mailinglist
  (see the FAQ or the REPORTING-BUGS text in the kernel sources)

This is known. I have a patch for smbfs in kernel 2.2.14 on:
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/index.html
  (there is also a patch that may work for 2.2.x with x < 14)

I have not updated it for the 2.3.x series (since I'm waiting for 2.2
fixes to smbfs to be merged with 2.3) or tested it with 2.2.15-preX.
