Accessing Samba server from cygwin: inodes, etc.

So, when I try and copy a file with the latest cygwin on the Samba 
server I get this message:

cp: skipping file `capture.txt', as it was replaced while being copied

and using find:

find: /cygdrive/s/littertray/Display/Telford/Design/CVS changed during 
execution of find (old inode
number -409107488, new inode number -401272056, filesystem type is 
system) [ref 1114]
find: /cygdrive/s/littertray/Display/Telford/Design/CVS changed during 
execution of find (old inode
number -472008488, new inode number -426128672, filesystem type is 
system) [ref 1114]

Now, I've found that the latest findutils can help this, but instead I 
get the bizarre:
$ find
.
./.gnome
./.kde
find: ./.kde: No such file or directory

etc, with other directories

The cp problem is helped if I revert to Prev (1.15.18-1 cygwin etc.), 
where I guess that the inodes from the server are not trusted. I wonder 
if there is a way for a user to force cygwin not to trust the inodes 
from a particular network drive?

I tried using the latest snapshot, but that didn't help.

Oh, and sorry for the rant in my last email - frustration getting the 
better of me.
