OS X 10.4.2 clients all having quota problems with Solaris samba/vxfs server

We're  running Samba 3.0.20 on a Solaris 9 server, using the Blastwave samba  build. smb.conf file is below. Our user homes are on a Veritas file system with vxquota enabled, usually 50M per user, and then users have links under their home dirs  to file systems with larger quotas or no quotas. For example, /home/joeuser has a 50M vxquota, but /home/joeuser/aux is a softlink to /vol/aux on which joeuser has a vxquota of a gig, and /home/joeuser/nettmp is a softlink to /vol/nettmp which is a VERY LARGE file system with NO quotas (that gets wiped every 24 hours).

Our OS X clients use local home directories, mounting their unix homes via smb mounts.

With Windows and OS X 10.3.x clients, this all works fine. However, all of OS X 10.4.2 clients are  incorrectly getting the 50M  home directory quota limit applied to ALL subdirectories. These users can't write ANY large files ANYWHERE on the system. This is pretty bad.

Has anyone here encountered this? Are there any fixes or work arounds? This appears to be a new bug in 10.4.2. Giving users unlimited quotas in their home directories is not a good option :-) I've got them using fugu to upload for the moment but that does not let them work on some applications.

thanks Betsy

PS I'm fairly new to OS X administration - is there a place to get the complete 10.4.x nitty-gritty technical release notes?
