It appears it would be one of two things, either the file contents get
changed/infected in a way that triggers some protection in the CE
device, or the file name is converted/munged into a character
set/encoding that doesn't work for the CE device. Try renaming that
test file (including extension) that  wouldn't copy to the CE after
the transfer to Samba and back and see if it will then copy. Also the
contents can be verified by doing a "diff" (or whatever tool is at
your disposal) between the original and the one that made the round
trip.
