I had the same problem. I had to use samba to access my windoze network 
with Ubuntu 8.10, but when I was using ubuntu 9.04 I could use nautilus 
to access my network.

I switched back to 8.10 because there were too many bugs in ubuntu 9.04 
and half of the programs I used in 8.10 wouldn't work in 9.04.

Is the network dir that you are trying to paste to read and write. I 
know I have my windows network with only one dir that is for read and 
right. The other ones I have set up so they can't be changed.

Just a though.
