I'd like to learn more about your setup.  What OS are you transferring
from (e.g. Windows -> Linux gives problems, Linux -> Windows works
great).  Does this problem occur when transferring from any computer to
said Linux box, or is it specific to just one computer?

Do the Samba log files on the Linux box give you any hints?
