I am seeking a better workaround than I currently have for the problem.

Using OS X 10.3.x and 10.4.x (and possibly other versions) as workstations,
and Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.6.16) with Samba 3.0.22, I have the following
sequence of events.  The symptom is most prevalent when dealing with multi
MB files:

1.  Resource fork (._ file) gets locked
2.  File associated with resource fork also gets locked.
3.  File gets unlocked
4.  Resource fork never gets unlocked.

Because the resource fork never gets unlocked, this causes problems with
migration of data off the Mac to the server and occasionally results in a
file being deleted unexpectedly.

Can you please confirm that this behaviour is present in the most recent
10.4 update?

If it is, could you please get a network trace of this behaviour and
file a bug with Apple? I'm not too familiar with tcpdump syntax, but it
would be best to capture entire packets (-s 0) in both directions (do
you need to "in.pcap port 139" as well?).

See http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/ for how to file an Apple bug.

thanks,
