I installed the update (os x 10.6.4) as it was released, and no go. I still have the same issue. I have been still fighting with this issue.

Seems to be better for me, but that doesn't mean:

1) I've got the same problem as DNK

2) I haven't seen it show up yet.

I dunno if there's any debugging you can turn on without using something
like wireshark to trap all your traffic and parse it from there.

I've got directories with tens of thousands of files in them, so I can't
always tell if it's slow because it's iterating thru all the files or
because there's something strange going on...

I still in fact have the original issue where it just beach balls, and I have to relaunch the finder each time I want to go into a subdirectory.

I solved it! (For me). Pulled from here.

http://www.macwindows.com/snowleopard-filesharing.html#050310a


The veto files line for my share in /etc/samba/smb.conf includes the file .DS_Store. For Mac clients accessing the share using SMB instead of AFP, the .DS_Store file needs to be accessible and writable, otherwise the Finder will hang trying to create it. Hope this helps!

I commented out the following line in my smb.conf:

#veto files = /.DS_Store/._.*/DesktopFolderDB/Network Trash Folder/resource.frk/TheFindByContentFolder/TheVolumeSettingsFolder/

And now it works. The above line used to not be an issue, but is now!

Either way, solved for me.

You might also want to consider telling OS X to NOT create .DS_Store
files on network volumes in the first place. .DS_Store files store
information about how you want things to display in Finder when you are
looking at that directory -- icons versus text, icon size, colored
highlighting on files and folders, etc.

Unless there is some specific reason why you WANT that functionality, it
is best to configure OS X to not create .DS_Store files on network
volumes. Allowing OS X to create these files can lead to all sorts of
problems if multiple users need to access a particular Samba share. One
OS X computer will tend to try to "own" the .DS_Store file, causing
other workstations to give you the beach ball or other kernel panics
when they cannot modify the same file.

To disable .DS_Store file creation:

* open Terminal in OS X (from /Applications/Utilities)
* run the following command, all on one line:


$ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores
true

You may have to run it as sudo, i.e.,

$ sudo defaults write com.apple.desktopservices
DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
