Try adding the following line to the [global] section of the samba server's configuration file:

unix extensions = no

Thank you, that resolved the uid issue. However, the I/O error, which I had assumed was related, still
remains. If I copy a new file to the server it's OK. If I then repeat the copy without previously deleting
the file, I get the I/O error after several seconds.

Any clues?

Thank you again
