[Samba] Continual Problems with "File system does not support long filenames"

When trying to create a file or folder on a samba 3.0.28-0.el4.9 share
from a Windows 2003 R2 server, I continually receive an error message
stating that the target filesystem does not support long filenames. I
have another samba 3.0.28-0.el4.9 server where this does not happen.
What causes this?

Here's the smb.conf from the "bad" server. It's pretty much the same as
the "good" server.
