How's this for a freaky bug:

When I connect to any smb share on either of my Debian servers, from either of my OS X.2 boxes, I can read, open and write, rename, and copy from the share using the Finder, but not copy through the Finder. If I try to drag and drop, or copy/paste to the share from, say, my deskop, I get:
The operation cannot be completed because you do not have suffiecient privileges for "test.txt".


If I open a local text file in TextEdit I can "save as" to the share. however, when I try this with any other file (images, movies, AE projects), I get an error about not having enough privileges on the server. A file gets written to the share, but its incomplete (0KB).

Yes, I have checked the permissions.

What's even weirder is that if there is already a file on the share with the same name, it asks me if I want to replace it (I click 'Replace'), removes the old file on the share, but then gives me the error above, and does not copy the new file. No error in /var/log/samba/log.smbd or log.nmbd.

However, if I open a terminal, I can cp to and from the volume without a problem.

This is also happening to the office next door with their Mac and Debian file server, and it used to work fine. I booted an old system up (SuSE 7.1), and it worked fine, even with an identical smb.conf file. Similarly, the Windows shares work fine on the OS X box using smb and the windows machines can use the Samba shares just fine.

The only thing I can think of is that an apt-get upgade of samba introduced a bug or something. The old version of Samba I tested (that worked) was 2.2.1a, and the one that doesn't is 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian.

Any thought?

Regards,

Jeremy
