Les,

Brilliant. Yes, the Windows 2003 Server contains;

Symantec Antivirus Version: 10.1.5.5000 Scan Engine: 81.3.0.13 Realtime Protection: Enabled Exclusions: None

Should I exclude the drive (S:) on the Windows box in the AV; have you ran into this and did doing this solve it for you?

I haven't had this problem personally but have seen it mentioned as an issue on the backuppc list and other places. I'd try disabling the realtime on-access scan while you do a copy to see if that really is the problem, then decide what to do about it. I don't know if there is any way to tune the cifs timeouts to tolerate it or not.
