[Samba] sticky bit, etc.

I have a question about samba and sticky bits. I have a share with the
following configuration:
[documents]
comment = documents
path = /shares/documents
public = no
writeable = yes
printable = no
valid users = @lan1
force user = docadmin
force group = lan1
create mode = 0440
force create mode = 0440
directory mode = 1770
force directory mode = 1770
delete read only = no
I also have the sticky bit set on /shares/documents.
Now, when I drop the file 'test.txt' in the directory, it has the following
permissions:
-r--r----- 1 docadmin lan1 4 Oct 29 17:45 test.txt
Now, When I login to the server via ssh as jdodson, the sticky bit on the
directory prevents me from renaming the test.txt file. However, when I login
to the server from windows as jdodson, I can change the filename and move the
file to another directory. So, it seems that samba is ignoring the sticky bit
on the /shares/documents directory.
The ultimate goal for the behavior of the directory is this:
when someone drops a file in the directory or subdirectory, it becomes
read-only so that it can't be edited, moved, or renamed by anyone except for a
special user with admin priveleges.
