rsync & samba

Hi all.  I'm having a problem that I can't seem to solve, and so far I
can't find anything to point me in the right direction.  I've got a
Samba server mounted using "mount_smbfs -I 192.168.0.3
//administrator at mater/share", and I'm trying to rsync from a local
drive to the smb mount.  It's always trying to replace certain files,
of varying sizes in varying places on the source drive.  The MD5 sums
never match after an rsync.  If I use cp to copy the files, the MD5s
match, but if I then run rsync again, it replaces it with a bad file
again.

I'm using rsync 3.0.3, on FreeBSD 7-Release.  My copy destination is a
NAS, which is only accessible via Samba.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
--Brian
