Is this machine a member server or DC? THis looks like an
authentication issue. You could try enabling the solaris nscd (name
service caching daemon) on member servers to help with flaky
authentication connections to a DC.
Do you have the same problem with non-NFS mounted directories? Are you
using autofs mounts? I found that resharing NFS mounts in samba
became more trouble than it was worth although it definitely has uses
when you want have directories from 2 or more servers appear in a single
logical windows directory. The alternative is to define Windows level
symlinks.
Have you tried the version of samba bundled with Solaris 10 (Samba
version 3.5.10.) I had a lot of aggravation either compiling samba
from source on solaris or using the Sunfreeware or Blastwave versions
(e.g. ZFS support, 64-bit support, proper integration with Solaris LDAP
and Kerberos, winbind support.)

This problem has only recently started since an upgrade to v3.6.3 and was still
present after rebuilding to 3.6.4. We are using the version of samba packaged by
OpenCSW.

From the server side, it appears that when this occurs it ties in with the
following log message:

there is clearly a problem obtaining a lock on this file that was not present on
Samba v3.4.7 on the same platform. We did, however, have to patch the server in
order to support the Samba package we are using. This error does not appear to
be something obvious such as number of open files on the operating system that
is causing this and running tdbtool against this particular file produces a
similar problem obtaining a lock on the file.

running the same samba package on the central server which is sun4u, on the same
build of Solaris with the same patch cluster and don't see this error or a
performance problem. This central server also has more users connected.
