There is an undocumented option in all samba tools: "lfs". This turns on
"large file support" and no problem to access files of several gigs. Try
for example:

smbmount //win/sharename /mountdir -o
username=user,workgroup=MYGROUP,lfs,dmask=0700

If you get strange errors or kernel oops, update samba and kernel. It
works fine for me with samba-3.0.10-1.fc3 and kernel 2.6.9-1.681_FC3.
