Please check,

Intrepid Beta: No Access to NAS samba share any more

at:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/282298

(confirmed but assigned "low importance")

I may be wrong but it seems the same stuff.

"I compiled samba with the patch from the samba bug tracker.
I installed the new smbclient deb and smbclient ls's on my 2.2.8 server 
worked properly as they should (no last letter missing). Then I 
installed the new libsmbclient deb (what gvfs-smb uses) and now the 
shares work properly in nautilus.

I'm attaching just the libsmbclient deb I made, no guarantees on it as 
I'm no expert in this field (nor really having any prior knowledge 
before today). But if you're like me and regretting upgrading and not 
having anyhope of a fix anytime soon then maybe it will help you out. I 
didn't change the version number or anything like that so you will have 
to "reinstall" the new deb. May need to logout or do "sudo 
/etc/init.d/samba restart" or whatever."

etc, etc, etc...
