Did you try a packet capture on the samba server? Try adding a entry for the XP machine in the server's /etc/hosts file.
I am guessing there is some sort of weird name resolution issue going on with the server. I don't think there is any reason the server should need to resolve the name of the client machine but I have had weird issues with VPN connections before. This is a site-to-site VPN?
