Samba does not allow (from memory) larger transfer greater than some size.

When you mount a windows share to a linux box you must specify something like this:

   /bin/mount -t smbfs -o lfs,username=USER //MACHINE/SHARE /mnt/somedisk

The lfs stands for LaRGE FILE SYSTEM.

Maybe you have to do something the other way around????
