My first thought is try the catch-all maneuver:
strace -f -p <pid_of_smbd> 2>/tmp/smbd.trace
Then try it from the Linux box, and then from a Windows box ( restart strace in between with a different trace file), then compare the traces to see what they are doing different.
Probably -s 1024 -e open,read,write options to strace would be helpful in addition
There is possibly a less brutal way to solve the problem, but I do not know enough about Samba to come up with one :-)
