This is a routing issue. The VPN connects the two private IP LAN's. Default traffic sent between the two VPN gateways will use a source IP of the primary external interface, so the gateway-gateway packets don't match your subnet-subnet tunnel. You can either build a gateway-gateway tunnel for the samba traffic, or possibly send the gateway-gateway traffic through the existing subnet-subnet tunnel via advanced routing.
