Update/Observation -- I know you all have bounced this around pointing fingers here and there (Samba group, server group, Rhythmbox group... etc) I think as last (as I remember) you had changed it from samba to server...

Well here's a wrench to throw at that logic --> I just set uo one of my spares here with Ubuntu 10.10 Server Edition with LAMP, Samba, SSH, Tomcat, EUC frontend, etc, ... Comfigured all including smb shares. Installed 3 GUI shells (ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop) as well as editing grub2 to easily come into it's native text console... I configured Rythymbox on it the get its music from a mounted Windows share (on another server) AND GUESS WHAT???
Differences in desktup and server kerne
Rhythembox and all the extansion (including the Ubuntu Music Store runs perfectly!!! The machine I am having problems on is running LAMP and Samba services. The only obvios differnce on the machine that works from the one that I am having the problems on is the machine machine that is working is running the "server kernel"...

From the server guide, the differences betweeen the server and desktop kernel are:
 - :The Server Edition uses the Deadline I/O scheduler instead of the CFQ scheduler used by the Desktop Edition.
 - Preemption is turned off in the Server Edition.
 - The timer interrupt is 100 Hz in the Server Edition and 250 Hz in the Desktop Edition.:

I don't know, but it's working on this machine and not my other that is running server services on the desktop kernel. SO... might some of the config options that are different between /boot/config-2.35.xx-general and /boot/config-2.35.xx-server be doing this? If so, seems that it might not be a server issue, but rather how the desktop kernel is configured. (Just an mystery tio me.)
