Hi Mike, I've encountered this one too. The solution was to add an smbd deadtime. As I understand the issue, XP and Samba don't always agree when an SMB session should be closed.
Try adding: deadtime = 60 which means "If I don't hear from a client within 60 minutes, assume that the connection is dead and close the smbd process".
