A bit of google revealed that setting "strict allocate = on" may fix
this.

I don't understand this completely, but it may be worth a try:

from man smb.conf again:

strict allocate (S)

    This is a boolean that controls the handling of disk space allocation in 
the server. When this is set to yes the server will change from UNIX behaviour 
of not committing real disk storage blocks when a file is extended to the 
Windows behaviour of actually forcing the disk system to allocate real storage 
blocks when a file is created or extended to be a given size. In UNIX 
terminology this means that Samba will stop creating sparse files. This can be 
slow on some systems.

    When strict allocate is no the server does sparse disk block allocation 
when a file is extended.

    Setting this to yes can help Samba return out of quota messages on systems 
that are restricting the disk quota of users.

    Default: strict allocate = no "
