See http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4453

It's a CIFS problem. I had the same issue with hosting my recordings
directory on a Windows box serving up a CIFS share. I solved it by
installing the 'services for unix' on the windows box and sharing out the
folder using NFS instead of CIFS. Works a charm now.

Well, now I don't feel so stupid for not figuring it out. I am not
sure I want to go through the bother of changing to NFS; I can live
without the thumbnails. Are there any other advantages to using NFS
as opposed to CIFS?
