SMB behaves differently between which view you're in for Finder. In column view it will occasionally decide to check permissions on SMB shares but usually just assumes you don't have any permissions and denies any rename/move/copy operation on a SMB share. In icon view it works fine...try it. Here are some of the tickets regarding it:

But I digress. While there is some obvious overhead with having an intermediate 'nix server, more parallel building = faster builds. If the other solutions are expensive why not give it a try anyways, save a buck or two?

I wouldn''t say that. Apart from the occasional hang
(now cured), it's fine. What I would like now is more
speeeeeeeeeeed. I have upgraded to a gigabit network (which didn't cost me
much to do) and this helped a bit but build times, especially limited to one
parallel build task, are roughly 3 times as long as on a local file
system. I would imagine an intermediate *nix server would make this even
worse.
I did try a few other things: Sharity (an alternative SMB
client for the Mac, but very slow) and a couple of NFS servers for Windows (also
too slow and unreliable). The other option would be an AFP server for
Windows (such as MacServerIP or ExtremeZ-IP) but these are expensive. If
anyone is using these and gets good results I'd like to know. They do
offer free trials.

In general I've found the SMB client in OS X to be very
buggy, my solution is to have a share available as both SMB and Appletalk.
If the share resides on a 'nix server then it's easy to setup netatalk in an
afternoon. If the share is on a WIN200X server the workaround is a little
more bulky - have a n intermediate'nix server (other then OS X Server) mount the
share SMB share then export that mounted share via netatalk. It's ugly,
but effective.
