I've now got definitive, anecdotal proof that the zero-length file (and resulting backup failure) is Ubuntu/smbd/Linux kernel related.
All day I've been trying to use Nautilus to move thousands of 13-14MB files off my Linux/Ubuntu file server and onto my Netgear NAS for archiving. Every attempt fails after some random number of files are moved when a zero-length file is written on the NAS, and something -- Nautilus, smbd, the Linux kernel, who knows -- looses its mind and the file move comes to a halt. I have to close out Nautilus and start all over, maybe move several hundred files, and *bang* it dies again. Lather, rinse, repeat. Why do I know it's one or several of Nautilus/Ubuntu/smbd/Linux kernel related? I've gone onto one of my Win & boxes, <ctrl-a> selected 2,516 13-14MB files on my Linux/Ubuntu file server, <ctrl-x> cut them, and have <ctrl-v> pasted them into the Netgear NAS. I've moved over 1,900 files so far, at 10.0 MB/sec, with no problem whatsoever. So there's a problem specific to Ubuntu -> NAS, big-time, but Win 7 -> Ubuntu -> NAS works like a charm.

Title says "Backup failed" and then it says "Success" in the window itself. See attached screenshot.
