I finally installed samba-vscan on a production server today.  Per the 
suggestions in the documentation, I loaded vscan-clamav prior to recycle.  It 
would not function.  Virus files were able to be opened, moved, copied ...you 
name it.  I stepped through my smb.conf file, created a separate share which 
only loaded the vscan-clamav object and it worked perfectly.  I then slowly 
added the other options back into that section.  As soon as I loaded the 
recycle object, the virus protection was gone. (when loaded AFTER 
vscan-clamav).

I'm OK with having the smb.conf load recycle first, then load vscan-clamav 
after that, but perhaps that could/should be clarified somewhere in the 
documentation.  For those of you who are unaware of what the recycle object 
does, it creates a .recycle directory in the appropriate share and moves 
files into that directory when a user deletes the files.  It can save some 
headaches when users 'accidentally' delete files.
