This is precisely what I ended up doing, and I just arrived back from doing it ;)
I configured a new 80 Gig disk on the system, and added the appropriate entry into /etc/fstab. After doing a cp --recursive --preserve of the data onto the new mount point, I then went into /etc/samba/smb.conf and just changed all of the path directives to point to the new disk. Viola. I was just looking for a shortcut. You know, the longest distance between two points.
