[Samba] Mac/Samba capacity detection problem

Hi,
 
We are having a problem between
 Linux 2.6.9-prep #12 SMP Mon Dec 6 12:08:34 CST 2004 x86_64 x86_64 
x86_64 GNU/Linux
(Samba version 3.0.9-1.fc3)
 
and
 
MAC OS X 10.3.5
Samba version 3.0.0rc2
 
Basically the issue is that the Mac reports the Linux share as being 
full, and won't allow files to be copied. 
 
We are able to work around it using this method:
Create a folder on the Linux share with the same name as the folder to 
be copied from MAC.
Then when you try copy and paste, it will let you select "Replace".
 
 
Here's what I'm getting with the DF command:
 
Linux server with plenty of free space:
 
[root at TeranII ~]# df -H
Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/vg00-lv00
                             5.0T   2.3T   2.8T  45%    /home
 
 
Macs with mounted  Linux drive shows erroneous drive space:
 
[cinemac:/sbin] root# df -H
Filesystem                                           Size   Used  Avail 
Capacity  Mounted on
//USERNAME at AMOS/SOURCE          602G   2.2T  -1.6T   365%    /Volumes/Source
 
 
sincityedit:/Volumes/source root# df -H
Filesystem                                         Size   Used  Avail 
Capacity  Mounted on
//USERNAME at AMOS/SOURCE        602G   2.2T  -1.6T   365%    /Volumes/source
 
 
Windows mapped drive to Linux shows  correct free space:
 
 Directory of Y:\
 
03/22/2005  09:51a      <DIR>          .
12/30/2004  10:00a      <DIR>          ..
03/22/2005  10:16a      <DIR>          _Admin

               0 File(s)              0 bytes
               3 Dir(s)  2,765,958,938,624 bytes free
 
 
I'm not sure what I can do to isolate the problem.  Can you give me some 
advice?
 
Thanks,
Carlos
