I experienced this very same thing last night when testing the 2.2.5
install from my vmware workstation running XP as well.  I can verify 
that small files were fine but when I tried to copy multi meg files to 
my home share I too received the same error.  I would be interested to 
know what is causing it as well though at the moment I am not all that 
fussed..just thought I'd throw in my $.02AUD :)
