If I had to guess, it sounds like the same sort of issue Mike was
discussing about the attributes being cached. My guess is that samba
is caching info about the file (like update time and file size) and
then not getting timely updats to let it know that the file was
modified and new data added. Thus it's sitting there waiting for new
data, oblivious to the fact that new data is already there. I don't
know what setting you'd change to correct this, but maybe this will
help you figure that out.
