[Samba] Samba with Mac files?

I have a Win2K Server that acts as a file server to a bunch of
Macintosh machines on the network. Today I installed samba-3.0.5 on a
Fedora1 machine, and mounted one of the server shares and tried to read
it. Much to my surprise, I found files that are being listed like this:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 May 13 16:30 Icon?*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25649 Aug 23 2000 webslide151.gif*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 57619 Mar 26 08:22 ???webslide1581.JPG*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26132 Mar 26 08:22 webslide1631.JPG*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 67711 Aug 18 1999 webslide176.gif*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70559 Mar 26 08:22 webslide1771.JPG*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80792 Mar 26 08:23 ???webslide1851.JPG*
When looking at the files on the Win2K serer, they're fine - they
can be opened with no problems or anything. There are no extra
characters on those file names, and yet samba displays them with ??? in
the front. The "Icon?" is the folder icon resource that any Mac machine
creates in any folder they dive in to.
If I try to run a 'du' on the mount, I get errors like this:
$ du -h --max-depth=1
31G ./ INKJET
132M ./Font Library
du: cannot access `./ICON?': No such file or directory
680M ./Jon S Folder
8.0K ./Network Trash Folder
8.0K ./RECYCLER
If I run rsync on the mount (which is ultimately what's going to
happen,) the first run gives me errors on the three "weird" files
(Icon?, and the two that start with ???) and a second run will copy them
over, as if nothing happened.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? Is it the Mac resource
forks that are screwing with me here? Anything I can do to fix this?
