The trace of the write failure in post 25 shows the server incorrectly
rejecting an attempt to set the file size, so it is plausible that
writes would work (also since writes are handle based not path based)
but that the setting of file size explicitly would fail.

If the version of the server in your case is also Samba 3.0.25a (see
/proc/fs/cifs/DebugData on the client to display session information
including the server version) then I think it plausible that a server
upgrade would fix it.
