Have you really watched it in exactly the moment that this
request is being issued? I'm asking because in 4917ff the
file is created again. To me it looks as if in this snipped
the server behaves right.

What we need is two tcpdumps, one against Samba where it
fails and one against Windows where it succeeds. If you
can't send them without an NDA, then you might want to
contact someone from http://www.samba.org/samba/support to
make a contract with and NDA.

Information on how to create useful network traces can be
found under http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Capture_Packets.

With best regards,
