gnome-vfs-smb -> huge nested folder transfer failures

["KC8LDO" <kc8ldo arrl net>]

I have a fully updated Fedora-11 32 bit OS install. The problem I have is 
when copying a huge folder, a hundred or so nested folders inside the top 
level folder and around 13000 files for about 2.6 GB of data, over the local 
network using Nautilus to connect to a network share. The transfer gets 
anywhere from 700 MB to around 1 GB then fails. A few times I saw a message 
about some "dbus" time out error.

I can skip using Nautilus and use the KDE smb4k to do the transfer and it 
works just fine. The only difference seems to be gnome-vfs-smb is hanging 
when doing the transfer through Nautilus.

Has anybody experienced this problem and how do you fix it? I ended up 
pulling in half of the KDE desktop just to use smb4k which I really didn't 
want to do but I know it works.
