[Samba] Offline files with Windows - again

Hi Guys
It saddens me to say so, but I'm going to have to order a copy of
Windows Server unless I can get this issue of offline files resolved.
Basically, we have a problem when users have "Offline Files" enabled in
Windows XP. When they log off, create or modify a file, and then log
back on, the files they have created/modified refuse to synchronise,
returning an error to the effect of "cannot synchronize test.txt, access
is denied on //server/share/test.txt". I've spend several days googling
this but have had no success - there seem to be quite a few people who
have experienced this problem, but no solutions that work. I've read
several suggestions, including things to do with "ACL support", etc. but
I've no idea how to do this...surely this should work out of the box?
I'm using Samba 3.028 on Ubuntu 8.04. I'm not particularly experienced
with Linux, so apologies if this is a simple thing to resolve.
Any help would be much, much appreciated.
Cheers, Russell
