I tested this problem on Linux Mint 13 based on Ubuntu 12.04 and with gvfs 1.12.1-0ubuntu1.1 and this bug is not there. Eveything works, so something must have changed between ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10. This bug is also in Linux Mint 14 RC based on Ubuntu 12.10.

Reproduce; it helps if you play a video/movie using vlc or mplayer from share. the file should be open for hours. (use pause) - when unpaused, the file will play fine. -no new big files on that share will open, small files may work. unmounting + remounting the SMB share may fixe the problem, but other processes may be affected: VLC - while stuck with such samba problem, is impossible to kill, same for smplayer sudo killall vlc -s KILL .. will not kill it. and so unmounting the share takes >10 attempts..
