Well i haven't exactly solved the problem but thought it worth posting 
that i'm now certain it's got nothing to do with samba at all. I moved 
the data file onto another 2k box and the ODBC connection was just as 
dastardly as when served via samba.

Interesting though, when using tethereal to sniff network traffic in 
verbose mode, the odbc driver generated about 110Mb of textfile in a 
just a few seconds - i shut the sniff off for the rest of the 10 
minutes the query took. a similar query to the same data file from MYOB 
took only a few seconds and created only about 8Mb of verbose tethereal 
data.

just all FYI FWIW really. I'm going to hand the problem back to the 
software vendor now that i've proved it's not a server issue.
