An easier way to find the bootleneek... Start top or/and iostat on the samba box. Start copying a file that are successfull. Check if the file is growing in the same rate as it is supposed to on the samba box (ls -l). If it takes the full size before the copy starts it uses Strict Allocate.
Using top and iostat you should be able to determine what resources you are using. You say that it's a 30 second timeout. Maybe you could change it. I guess it's something on the win98 box. Maybe someone else could help here? This could be a workaround until the problem is solved.
