[Samba] Files missing when using windows XP and samba

No, some files are as small as 4Mb, others are upto about 2-3 Gb. There seems 
to be no commonality between the sizes of missing files and those that are 
visible.

The only thins I have noticed is that there are some files which have spaces 
in their names. When viewed on the Unix machines, the spaces are intact. If I 
view them on the Linux box, the spaces appear as '?' - obviously, windows 
would have trouble with this.
Just waiting to see if changing these spaces to '-' will make any difference.

Stuart.
