[Samba] disappearing files

[jonlists]

To reply to my own message, I have finally found something in the logs 
that indicates a permission denied error, as follows: 

when attempting to read the directory, on one entry the following shows: 

get_lanman2_dir_entry: Couldn't stat [Filename in directory structure] 
(Permission Denied) 

At the samba/share level, things should be okay. At the unix file system 
level, like I said, the user is the owner of the file. 

Ideas?
