[Samba] Permissions problem...I must be overlooking *something*...

I have a share I can't seem to create files on, and I can't figure out why.
I get "Access denied" from Windows, and the samba log shows this:

[2004/07/13 10:52:26, 2] smbd/open.c:open_directory(1293)
  open_directory: failing create on read-only share
[2004/07/13 10:52:26, 2] smbd/open.c:open_directory(1293)
  open_directory: failing create on read-only share

The share has the following definition:

[webfiles]
        path = /var/www
        force group = "INTERCLEAN+Domain Admins"
        valid users = @"INTERCLEAN+Domain Admins"
        writable = yes
        read only = no

Here are the permissions on /var/www:

# file: www
# owner: root
# group: INTERCLEAN+Domain Admins
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x

I'm in the Domain Admins group.  Why doesn't this work?  I'm sure there's
something silly I'm overlooking, but I can't see what it is right now.
