Can I say "D'oh"?  I knew I could ;)

The problem turned out to be a samba configuration issue.  Several  
months ago I had added the parameter "large readwrite = no" to my  
smb.conf file in order to speed up transfers between my mac and  
windows.  When it's in the configuration file the inodes are messed  
up.  When I remove it, the inodes are fine.

I get the same behavior on a non-apple version of samba... in my case  
I tried the darwinports version, 3.0.20b, and large readwrite had the  
same problem.

So problem solved.

Thanks for all you help,
Peter
