Ah, but now you are talking about a different bug.
Your original testcase only contained changes from the smbfs client (the abc/xyz test). For me that is solved by this patch and I wanted you to check if it did in your environment as well.
I have one other report of something being broken with changes made on the server side only.
There is also yet another problem if you change a file from smbfs and from the server. The smbfs side will remember the wrong filesize. This may be a fix for that: http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/smbfs-2.4.4-truncate+retry-3.patch (-3, not -2)
