Dear Mathias,
As I said, I experienced a similar problem with ftp shares, NOT with smb. However, I tried out what you said and it is working.
But with the ftp is still not working. It seems the Nautilus tries to use a simple ftp get for directories too.

Could you test with smbclient using the following command line :

 smbclient //SERVER_NAME/SHARE_NAME -N -c 'recurse; mget
DIRECTORY_NAME/'

replacing SERVER_NAME, SHARE_NAME and DIRECTORY_NAME with your values ?
