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 "
