For some reason now the output of the dir command comes in a different order and the total byte size is different on the samba share than the native Windows share thus breaking the check. All the file appear to by copied correctly though.

the order of a directory listing under Unix/Samba is not alphabetically sorted.
You may want to look at vfs_dirsort however.
