[Samba] Samba / XP drive listing problems

Welp, I have asked this question numerous times with no responses, so 
I'll try to rephrase it. I have a very upset client and need an answer soon.

How do I configure samba or XP to display the drive listings correctly 
(shorter) in Windows Explorer? Other versions of Winbloze seem to 
display the lists of mapped drives just fine. XP displays this:

Local Disk (C:)
sys on 'Samba Server 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix on Server (Server) f:'

Obviously the listing for the F: drive is way too long. How do I get it 
to display shorter? I have already set the netbios name and server 
string parameters in the smb.conf file and restarted the service. What 
else can I do short of recompiling the entire package myself?
