We've not seen this here (we use samba as well), but I'm guessing it's
related to the Samba configuration.  There is a setting in the smb.conf
for whether or not to mangle long names to 8.3.  Here is what I found
from a web search:

http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_04.html

According to that page, the default for "mangled names" is yes which would
do the shortening.   Check with your Samba administrator about changing
this value.
