"path to deep" we get, when the path ist to deep :-)
e.g. here:
u are using: /usr/local/samba/data/windows/share1/ as path for a share.
windows has: 
\\<server>\this\is\a\typical\path\that\seems\to\be\created\by\any\windows\application\or\an\user\with\many\paths\ad\so\on\...
so amba has to create:
/usr/local/samba/data/windows/share1/this/is/a/typical/...
this may be to long...
can u check this?

we had many situations, in which we got a "lock up" on w2k/98/xp, but 
always a different reason.

so please post smb.conf and the relevant parts of the logfile.
if nothing in the log is seen, please increase the loglevel.
