New installation working with just a couple of minor problems

I'm feeling reasonably pleased with myself as I've managed to install NAS4free, configure ZFS RAidz1 and set up my standard datasets/shares. The shares are visible and writeable from the PCs and WHS server in the workgroup so there's nothing badly wrong.
The first problem is that I get the following errors when I kick off Robocopy to copy from PC to NAS

Code: Select all

After the failures, it all runs as expected. A basic copy-and-paste works perfectly. Is this a problem in my CIFS/SMB configuration?

Second problem is that the read speeds are worse than write. Write speed is great, holding 111MB/s, but read is up and down, averaging about 80MB/s. I'm using 4 2TB WD Red drives in raidz1 connected to a Highpoint RocketRaid 640 controller and the target drive is an SSD on a SATA3 port on both W7 PC and WHS2011 server. MTU is set to 9000 on all workgroup members. Any meaningful suggestions would be welcome.
