I'm seeing inconsistent results with cksum, with repeated executions on the same file giving different results. Now, I suspect I won't get much sympathy because I am accessing the remote file through a "stone_age_old"* (QNX4) Samba server through my Q: drive, but if there's a solution to this, I'd love to hear it as I use cksum to verify correct transfer of files.
