[Samba] Problems copying digital images to Samba Share

I am trying to copy some digital images to a directory on my Redhat 7.3
Samba 2.2.3a-6 server and am getting extra files in the directory. I
have included my SMB.Conf file contents below in case that is relevant.
The files being copied reside on a Windows 2000 workstation and were
created by Jasc Image robot. These files would have been accessed by
both a Windows 2000 machine as well as a Windows XP machine. I should
point out that the samba share, exists and has permissions = 777. The
files I am trying to copy are all named like the following example
"LK00000005373.png" without the quotes. They are large, 20MB or more,
and there are a lot of them. I am using Xcopy to copy from the Windows
2000 machine to the samba share. When I go to the Linux box, log in and
do a directory there are three versions of each file. they look like the
following.

-rwxr--r--    1 Ttt      Ttt      28778288 Nov 14 20:40
LK00000005373.png
-rwxr--r--    1 Ttt      Ttt             0 Nov 14 20:40
LK00000005373.png:{4c8cc155-6c1e-11d1-8e41-00c04fb9386d}:$DATA
-rwxr--r--    1 Ttt      Ttt          6340 Nov 14 20:40
LK00000005373.png:?Q30lsldxJoudresxAaaqpcawXc:$DATA


I would really appreciate any one being able to tell me what is going on
here. I thought I could just ignore the extra files but some
applications on the Windows machine seem to think this directory has
files and subdirectories in it.

Thanks in advance
