This sounds like an smbclient-bug to me ... Please let me know the exact releases of Samba used, in general I would be interested to know the exact setup (OS versions, etc.) You may also send that to me via private mail, even in german, if preferred ;-) Maybe the Samba-Bugzilla would give you more infos on that ...
