This seems to be a common issue with Hardy/Samba/Nautilus lately. You'll
find all sorts of posts in this list, the Ubuntu forums, and the
launchpad bug list with related items. I've finally given up as I simply
don't have time to continue messing about with the problem, and there
are too many unconsidated reports to put a finger on the exact issue.
Instead I also resort to the above bookmark workaround for the time being.
