Another thought and it does not sound like it's the case but maybe all the 
files & dirs don't actually reside on the box you're accessing, ie it's 
using dfs mounts from other machine for which you don't have privileges.

Hrmm...excellent thought. Let's do some timings and see if it looks
suspicious.  When I run it on the one I've been testing with, I get:

real    2m3.443s at 755M data.

Then just for comparison I test on another large share on the same
machine and it fails at:
 
real    2m47.569s at 1.1G data.

and a third....

real    3m4.338s at 744M data

So, doesn't seem to be either a set amount of data nor a set amount of
time.  So what's left?  I was watching 'top' output and it didn't seem
to be hitting physical limits.  Set number of files?

At any rate, yes this is rather far off-topic here at this point. 
Thanks for your help - lets hope my posts to Samba lists on this issue
over the past three days will trigger someone's memory.

Thanks for your help,
Fran
