Wait, what? Are you saying that your BerkeleyDB-based repository is
stored on a Samba share? If so, that would be a bad idea; a
BerkeleyDB-based repository should only be stored on a local disk.

I think you're instead saying that your repository is BerkeleyDB-
based, and that it is on a local disk on the server, but that your
working copy is on a Samba share, and that this is not working. If
so, that should be unrelated to the storage engine used for the
repository.
