Well, here is your problem. Why does it *have* to be a vfat filesystem?
I use a standard ext2 filesystem (and on one experimental server a
reiserfs)
and I don't have any problems.
Give up the requirement to use vfat on the Linux server and your
problems go away.
Or is there a reason why vfat with samba is better than ext2 with samba
on the server?
