Same issue happens for me with a Shuttle Omninas KD20, which doesn't give shell access (and the known hack to get shell access doesn't work on latest firmware). Strange thing is that it doesn't happen on every file. Also, it seems that smbclient will happily fetch the files without issues, even though Nautilus will consistently fail to copy the file, as will gedit fail to open it. I filed a support request at shuttle with a link to samba bug 10548 (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10584), hoping that will get me somewhere.

See the screenshot. It pops up right at the end of the copy operation. This doesn't happen when copying the very same file using a different protocol. Neither does it happen when using another device to copy the very same file over SMB. It worked until the upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04.
