This is a known issue with Samba, relating to the quality of the hash function used to mangle file names. You can set 'mangle method = hash2' in your smb.conf to 'fix' it. (chances of a hash collision are greatly reduced). This setting is now the default in Samba 3.0, but make sure you read the smb.conf manpage section on this, as it *will* change all your mangled (short) names.
