I just ran into the same 2 GB limit issue after performing a clean
install of Ubuntu 10.04 and attempting to restore files from a OSX (Snow
Leopard) share.  The file that fails is 2.8 GB in size and gives an
"invalid argument" error when reaching 2 GB.

I did some testing to see if the issue is operating system dependent .
Here's what I found :

Host (share) | file transfer direction | Client | Result

OSX (Snow Leopard) -> Ubuntu 10.04  FAIL
OSX (Snow Leopard) -> Ubuntu 9.10  FAIL
OSX (Snow Leopard) <- Ubuntu 10.04  OK
OSX (Snow Leopard) <- Ubuntu 9.10  OK
Ubuntu 10.04 <- OSX (Snow Leopard) OK
OSX -> Windows 7 OK
Windows 7 -> Ubuntu 10.04 OK
Windows 7 -> Ubuntu 9.10  OK
Ubuntu 9.10 Server (samba) <- OSX (Snow Leopard) OK
Ubuntu 9.10 Server (samba) -> Ubuntu 10.04 OK
Ubuntu 9.10 Server (samba) -> Ubuntu 9.10  OK
Ubuntu 9.10 -> Ubuntu 10.04 OK
Ubuntu 10.04 -> Ubuntu 9.10 OK

Basically, I only get this error when trying to copy from an OSX share
to a Ubuntu client.  Transferring the file from a Ubuntu client to the
OSX share works fine.  Any other OS mixes do not have an issue in my
environment.
