Brian,
Thanks. I thought I was just my two OS clients. From what I've been
reading lately, it seems to have been around for a while in different
releases of OSX. Our set up is one Samba PDC that acts as a file
server for a bookkeeping business. We have the mac machines as we
have a couple of artist clients who do all their work on Macs,
including their books. We can't leave them connected to the network
for too long or I have to restart samba.
I did an strace and logged it here -

I am not sure what to look for though. Maybe someone can shed some light...

Hi Ed,
First, I feel your pain.
While I don't have an answer, I did switch from OSX based Samba server
to Linux and my problems went away.
My experience in general with OSX server 10.5 is that its a horrible
XSAN, NFS, AFP, SMB server.
What I've used to help trouble shoot OSX in general in addition to the
built in process viewer is XRG ( X Resource Grapher).
You can also try to dtrace stuff. Just type it in a term to see some
help.
There were some NFS bugs I uncovered and shared with the OSX Server
dev guys which should be fixed in 10.6 server but who knows if that
will also fix the plethora of other issues.
