Simon,

	Thanks for the pointer.  Was a good discussion.  The described problem
sounds similar but I have the same problem even when I disable the
firewall entirely.  The firewall issue was one of the first things I
thought of that could cause the problem I was seeing.  But even opening
up the samba ports or disabling the firewall does not resolve the
problem.  

	I have filed a bug report on this yesterday.  I am hoping someone will
see it and either provide a fix or work around or at least confirm that
I am not going crazy.  (at least no more than I already am)

	I may have to sign up for the developers list to monitor such
conversations.  Was very interesting.
