The gvfs-move command shows the same output as nautilus:

rocko@ubuntu:~$ gvfs-move smb://10.1.1.2/w/rocko/javaprojects/javamail-1.4/demo/README.txt .
Error moving file smb://10.1.1.2/w/rocko/javaprojects/javamail-1.4/demo/README.txt: Invalid argument

and the copy part of the command works (ie I can see README.txt in . after issuing the command), but the delete fails.

On the server, this file has these permissions:

-r--r--r-- 1 rocko rocko 11402 2006-04-19 23:13 README.txt

Some configuration information:

I installed the samba server with "sudo apt-get install samba" (or the equivalent from Synaptic), ie it's the standard Ubuntu package. It's running on a 32-bit Ubuntu machine.

smbclient is running a 64-bit Ubuntu machine (both are updated to the same versions). I'm trying to copy from the 32-bit machine to the 64-bit machine.

The only modification to /etc/samba/smb.conf that I made on the server are:

force user = rocko

and I added a user called rocko and set a password using "sudo smbpasswd -a rocko".
