I've had similar experiences with samba while trying to use it to mount
network shares for backup purposes..from the input/output errors to horribly
munged permissions and such..it's a case of using a square in a circle;
while samba does many things admirably, unix-to-unix sharing isn't one 
of them (yet?)  I switched this procedure to strictly nfs a while ago and
that resolved the issues.
