Package: smbclient
Version: 2:3.5.6~dfsg-1
Severity: important
When I mount a samba share using the "connect to server" icon in the gnome-menus, I am able to browse, delete and even get files from the remote server, but when I try copying it fails consistently with the error: "Invalid argument"
This is a well known bug in the samba 3.4.x that reappeared in 3.5.x. Fortunately it has been fixed upstream: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7791
But it will only appear in version 3.5.7 of samba which still hasn't been released. Please backport this fix, as this problem is very annoying, it renders samba unusable to me and many others as reported here:

Ubuntu 10.10 has already patched their version of samba
