Check out the time stamps on the logged entries. It starts by trying to access a file, if there's a suspiciously long gap between that entry and the next entry using the same file, then that's most likely your puppy. At least it gives you chance of isolating the problem.

Samba has awesome logging capabilities to help you diagnose from that end (check out 'man smbd').  If all else fails get a helpful soul to hook strace up to it while running.

In this case, what do I have to look for? And how can I differentiate
what is XSI doing vs what is Windows doing on the Samba server?
