Rob,

I think there is a samba plugin for ClamAV to scan each file as it leaves and 
joins the server. I think this is what eBox uses.

Heck Kyle, that might work wonders. I only think it's some overkill for
an office with 10 people.

They do already run a Centos based sme server with clamv that I thought
of giving the usb scan/clean job.

Let me know when I can dl the iso
