Basically, it either means you have a bug in the kernel, or a bug in the version of the samba utilities you are using, or you are using a version of the utilities that is not compatible with the kernel you are using. So try mounting with cifs filesystem & if the problem reoccurs try upgrading samba utilities & kernel.
