Too many open files when using clearcase

FYI:
  I'm using samba 2.0.6 for clearcase interoperation between Unix and NT,
and while it works
great 99% of the time, I run into a problem whenever I do a complete build
on an NT system, 
which involves compiling ~1500 files. The first 1100 or so are compiled
correctly, but then the following 
errors show up on the NT box:

  The system cannot open the
  device or file specified.

And the following errors show up in the samba log file:

[2000/01/10 17:42:48, 0] lib/doscalls.c:dos_GetWd(461)
  dos_GetWd: dos_getwd call failed, errno Too many open files
........................repeated hundreds of times
..............................

[2000/01/10 17:42:48, 0] smbd/files.c:file_new(85)
  ERROR! Out of file structures
.........................repeated 4 or 5 times .............................


Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this? I've tried
changing some of the MVFS 
parameters on the NT side, but that only made it worse.

Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!

Ozzie,


P.S.      My smb.conf file looks like this:
