Just to summarize again: 1) A few versions of Samba server had a bug parsing DFS paths (fixed in Samba server 3.0.26). You can see which version of server you have mounted to by doing "cat /proc/fs/cifs/Debug Data " on the client). When the Linux CIFS client added support for DFS last year, those few (relatively old) versions of Samba servers (when configured for DFS) exhibited problems with certain path based calls (setting the file size was one) which can break some common applications.
2) Although disabling the cifs unix extensions (mount option "nounix") may help in some cases, the best solution is to upgrade the Samba server to any of the more recent versions of the server. If that is not possible, disabling DFS support (see comment 50) in the server is another possibility (on future kernels, 2.6.28 includes this e.g., you will be able to specify "nodfs" as a mount option on the client to workaround the problems on these two versions of Samba).
