I'm not sure if I have the same issue but I'm getting the "Invalid argument" error message when I try to delete something from the samba share. I don't know about the copying problem, usually I don't copy anything from the smb share to the PC it's mounted on.
I can't find bug report for the deletion problem though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393012 Title: [SRU] smb: Error while copying file, "Invalid argument" Status in autofs - automatic filesystem mounter: Confirmed Status in GVFS: Unknown Status in Samba: Fix Released Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gvfs” source package in Maverick: Invalid Status in “samba” source package in Maverick: Fix Released Status in “gvfs” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus While copying a folder from ubuntu to a Windows XP PC, I get an error message, "Error while copying "Tarantula-1.jpg".

The folder does not exist on this remote PC. At the start of the copy, Nautilus creates the folder "Tarantula", then terminates with the error: "Error while copying "Tarantula-1.jpg". The Tarantula folder on the remote PC (as reported from Nautilus 2.26.2 File Browser): Location: smb://asus1/documents/Tarantula Tarantula-1.jpg , size = 64.0 KB, type = JPEG Image, group = unknown, Octal Permissions = unknown, Owner = unknown, Permissions = unknown .picasa.ini = 59 bytes, type = unknown, group = unknown, Octal Permissions = unknown, Owner = unknown, Permissions = unknown It appears that the .ini file was copied completely, as I can open and read the file in a text editor. The JPEG image was partially copied when smb terminated. The problem can be repeated. This may be a problem with smb.
