Hi - we had the same problem under 10.5.2 server - seems deactivating the streams support vfs module in samba did the trick:

/etc/smb.conf:

vfs objects = darwinacl, darwin_streams
...
; The darwin_streams module gives us named streams support.
stream support = yes
ea support = yes

replace with (i.e. remove darwin_streams)

vfs objects = darwinacl
...
; The darwin_streams module gives us named streams support.
stream support = no
ea support = no


For some reason it seems the alternate data streams (ADS) support in this new version of samba is broken - the windows clients can happily write files with streams (which get saved locally server-side as an extended atttribute), but they can't *copy* the file back - this is a big problem when roaming profiles are concerned. We just turned stream support off. It means the stream data gets stripped, but that hasn't presented a problem as yet..
