We need more data Randy, like OS on both client and server, and 
networking access method.  Be aware that samba, because its windows 
based, has no proper concept of modifcation times for files, making 
all files look new most of the time.   You didn't say, but this 
walks and quacks a bit like that duck.  I get the same for my one 
and only vfat based dos partition right here on this machine.  
Fortunately this isn't an M$ house, and that 100 meg partition has 
only 10 megs or so on it.  Rom bios updates and such.
