Like you, I prefer the simplicity of SMB (I also run a dedicated XBMC Live HTPC that has zero issues with SMB) but for the sake of my kids getting upset every time they see "Buffering...), I'm happy I switched to FTP!
Set up an ftp-server, tested in XBMC => same result.

Since i changed my NAS to a LaCie one, its Linux based and uses Samba as CIFS/SMB server, i got everything working smoothly with XBMC. I can even stream 1080p movies when needed.
I'll see if I can test with an Ubuntu Live-cd or something, but I sure hope that's not the solution for me! Don't really want to go and replace my Server2008 with a Linux-distro...
