I have discovered the answer. Encyption. Win98 uses it, Samba does not. However, it can be configured to use encyption.
Neo, Thanks for the advise. I will be picking up the Samba book on my next trip to the bookstore. (My shopping list is growing rapidly!)

vfs_fileid
VFS_FILEID(8) System Administration tools VFS_FILEID(8)
NAME
vfs_fileid - Generates file_id structs with unique device id values for cluster setups
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = fileid
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
Samba uses file_id structs to uniquely identify files for locking purpose. By default the file_id contains the device and inode number
returned by the stat() system call. As the file_id is a unique identifier of a file, it must be the same on all nodes in a cluster setup.
This module overloads the SMB_VFS_FILE_ID_CREATE() operation and generates the device number based on the configured algorithm (see the
"fileid:algorithm" option).
OPTIONS
fileid:algorithm = ALGORITHM
Available algorithms are fsname and fsid. The default value is fsname.
The fsname algorithm generates device id by hashing the kernel device name.
The fsid algorithm generates the device id from the f_fsid returned from the statfs() syscall.
fileid:mapping = ALGORITHM
This option is the legacy version of the fileid:algorithm option, which was used in earlier versions of fileid mapping feature in
custom Samba 3.0 versions.
EXAMPLES
Usage of the fileid module with the fsid algorithm:
[global]
vfs objects = fileid
fileid:algorithm = fsid
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.2 of the Samba suite.
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
