Update.

Unfortunately, the problem is definitely still there. I've rebooted 
everything and double checked that the Max Protocol setting is still in 
smb.conf.

It's very annoying! I can't auto-back/sync to a network drive that needs 
clicking on twice before it will work.

Grrr.

Thanks for the attempts to help everyone. I think I'll have to go for 
the clean OS approach on the server. That will probably take less time.

Cheers everyone,
Damian
