samba - Nov 2006 - cant save to smb from apps?

I set up a samba share on a fedora core 5 box.

I am able to drag and drop files to it, but when I try to save from an 
app, I get a message saying disk is full.  These are all XP home clients. 
When I tried to share from an XP pro client it worked.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

thanks, Josh.

Please post the section of your smb.conf file that describes the share.

I don't like the colon neither. I would just call it C
