As a test, I tried setting all my masks (including the forced ones) to 777,
and restarting samba.  This didn't fix the problem. :-(

		I'm wondering if you changed the value of the create mask
parameter?
		I found if you take out the user-execute bits, then Word
cannot set

it then
		complains a lot.
