Can't add files to my repository with Eclipse EGit

Question

I use Eclipse (Helios) with PDT and EGit. I have a project without versioning, so I created a git repository for it by doing:

Team -> Share Project

When I try to add the files of my project to the repository:

Team -> Add

I get an exception:

Failed to add resource to index
    Failed to add resource to index
    Exception caught during execution of add command

When I add the files manually on the command line, everything is working fine.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

The error eclipse gives is:

Caused by: org.eclipse.jgit.errors.ObjectWritingException: Unable to create new object: Z:\eage_layout\.git\objects\60\f30dd232bd6ddaeb198fb11400c2613a072189
 at org.eclipse.jgit.storage.file.ObjectDirectoryInserter.insert(ObjectDirectoryInserter.java:100) at org.eclipse.jgit.api.AddCommand.call(AddCommand.java:177)

The code I'm running is located on a virtual machine running on CentOs. I'm working on a windows machine and using a samba share to get access to the code on the virtual machine. I've put the filesystem permissions on my .git directory to 777, but still it does not work.

I had a similar problem, where egit was failing on adding some files but not others. After many wasted hours I finally found the solution to my issue. Adding core.autocrlf=false solved the problem.
