[WinMac] Writing Files Over an Ethernet Network

I have a Macintosh application that:

1) writes a modified JPEG file to the application folder.

2) copies the modified JPEG file over an ethernet network
from the application folder to a folder on another
 Macintosh running a Spider Island BBS.

3) then copies the modified JPEG file over an ethernet network
from the application folder to a folder on an NT File Server.
The NT server is being used only for file storage.

4) Then kills the original JPEG file in the application folder.

Every file copied to the BBS Mac is written fine.

A small percentage of the files written to the NT Server
arrive with about 25% to 33% of the tailend of the datfork
is missing.

The bad NT files always occur at roughly the same time, early evening
when the application machine is under the heaviest load, running
my application and Eudora pro and at the same time.

The original JPEG files arrive as Email attachments,
the app modifies both forks of the received files.

Suggestions, anyone?

Cheers,
