I had similar issues moving files between a Linux PC and Windows PC. It
looks like an SMB issue.

What I found was that larger files could be copied closer to the root
directory on the Windows PC. For example:

- a 5gig file could be copied to C:\filename
- the same 5gig file would fail when copied to
C:\Archive\Video\Movies\Comedy\filename

Also, during a large file MOVE, I would eventually recieve a "network not
available" error message. After this error message I'd check the target file
size and it would still be growing.

Never could figure out the issue.
