Top posting isn't polite.

Next questions: Are these machines using older-filesystems like reiserfs
v3.5 (or 3.6 would be good), Early ext2 (ext3 would be good).

How about, are there any >2GB files on either of filesystems?

Are you using quotas on either filesystem, ACLs perhaps?

What version of Libc6 (glibc for you) are you using?

Why aren't you using NFSv3 for this? It is fast and more native to linux
than SMB.  Easier to use than SMB, except for Windows which has native
SMB.

Please don't CC me, as I read the samba list, especially since
murphy.debian.org isn't quite working yet (which runs the mailing lists
for debian).
