For the life of me this just will not work! i;m on the 5th reinstall and running out of ideas

I can't seem to copy files/folders from windows 8 to samba on xbmcbuntu

I keep getting Network Error (Only when copying, I can view samba's shares fine)

Here is the log from my windows user on samba

Code:
[2013/09/23 01:31:58.481365,  0] smbd/close.c:305(close_remove_share_mode)

  close_remove_share_mode: Could not get share mode lock for file Videos/Animated Movies/Grave of the Fireflies (1988)/Grave of the Fireflies.mkv

[2013/09/23 01:31:58.481540,  0] smbd/close.c:305(close_remove_share_mode)

  close_remove_share_mode: Could not get share mode lock for file Videos/Thumbs.db

[2013/09/23 01:31:58.481721,  0] smbd/close.c:983(close_directory)

  close_directory: Could not get share mode lock for .

And this is the config for samba

Code:
[global]

workgroup = WORKGROUP

server string = %h server (Samba, XBMC)

netbios name = XBMCbuntu

dns proxy = no

name resolve order = hosts wins bcast

guest account = xbmc

load printers = no

show add printer wizard = no

log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

max log size = 1000

syslog = 0

panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d

encrypt passwords = true

passdb backend = tdbsam

obey pam restrictions = yes

unix password sync = yes

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .

pam password change = yes

map to guest = bad user

[Movies]

path = /home/xbmc/Movies

comment = Video's and Movies Folder

writeable = yes

browseable = yes

guest ok = yes

[Music]

path = /home/xbmc/Music

comment = Music Folder

writeable = yes

browseable = yes

guest ok = yes

[TV Shows]

path = /home/xbmc/TV Shows

comment = TV Shows Folder

writeable = yes

browseable = yes

guest ok = yes

[Downloads]

path = /home/xbmc/Downloads

comment = Downloads Folder

writeable = yes

browseable = yes

guest ok = yes

[Pictures]

path = /home/xbmc/Pictures

comment = Pictures

writeable = yes

browseable = yes

guest ok = yes

[System]

path = /home/xbmc/.xbmc

comment = XBMC System Share

writeable = yes

browseable = yes

guest ok = yes

[Media]

path = /mnt/Media

comment = XBMC Media Share

writeable = yes

browseable = yes

guest ok = yes

Has anyone any ideas? as this is really starting to P*** me off.

Windows 8 has pretty strict DNS handling that didn't play entirely well with samba when windows 8 first came out.
I am not entirely sure this has been fixed in the mean time.

Edit: More information in this post: http://www.admin-magazine.com/Articles/L...-Windows-8
It is possible you will need to edit some registry settings in Windows 8.

Yeah, I had disconnected the hard drive from the MX2 and plugged it back into my PC. At this point I'm just trying to figure out why smb username and password isn't taking when I navigate to my hard drive on the device. This is ate up!
