samba - Jan 1999 - FW: Random(?) errors moving files, in NT 4 dos window, on samba s hares

> This problem was occurring on 19p8 so I moved to samba 2.0.0 yesterday in
> hopes it was a bug
> that had been solved...  All the information I am supplying relates to
> version 2.0.0.  The only change
> I made to my global.conf file between the two versions was to remove the 
> socket option IPTOS_THROUGHPUT.
> 
> We have a large number of zip files named
<STATION><DATE><HOUR>.<PRODUCT>
> in one directory.
> STATION=2 letter code for the satellite receiving station
> DATE=4 number code for the month and day
> HOUR=2 number code for the hour of the day
> PRODUCT=3 character code for the product/version
> 
> We want to move the files that are a month old to a subdirectory called
> ntbackup so that they can be
> picked up by a scheduled tape backup.  Each file is roughly 1Mb in size.
> 
> In the 1_DUAL directory, for each day, there are 9 stations x 24 hours >
216 files, with the product
> extension '01d'.  The files for Jan 01 should be moved to ntbackup
by the
> following command:
> 
> move ??0101??.01d ntbackup
> 
> Only a few (68, 67, 63, 35, 32, 3, 1) files get moved each time and
> sometimes there is 1 error message
> "an unexpected network error has occurred"
> or
> "the specified network password is not correct"
> or
> "the filename, directory name or volume label syntax is
incorrect"
> or
> "the session was cancelled"
> that is printed out.
> Subsequent trials show that these error messages occurs at different
> points, on different files, 
> each time.
> 
> Issuing the UNIX command
> mv ??0101??.01d ntbackup
> works perfectly so I could write shell scripts to do this but, the users
> aren't UNIX aware and want
> to control everything from their wintel (NT4sp3) machines.
> 
> There are 7000 files in this directory and I thought that was the problem
> so I have copied one
> day's set of data to another directory and created a similar samba
share
> to the production
> version.  I still have the same problem.  The same problem occurs with
> "move *.01D ntbackup".
