The default smbclient doesn't list the files properly either.  I've been
romping through the configure script, 
and it turns out that certain flags weren't being properly set in
config.h, due to the fact that samba was
being cross-compiled and the test programs couldn't be run.  So far,
I've set dev_t to be a u_quad type, and
enabled 64-bit versions of: dirent, ino, off_t, SMB_STRUCT_DIR, flock,
and SMB_F_SETLKW/GETLKW.  Is there 
anything i missed?

Anyone have suggestions?

smbfs the in-kernel filesystem, (particularly old versions such as in
Linux 2.4) never did files over 4GB well.  

'Fixing' the userspace samba won't change the in-kernel limitations.  I
suggest you find a different way to move the files, perhaps use
smbclient - the default compile should be perfectly fine for large files
(Samba itself has done large files for many years).
