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
