I'm not sure if this is still an issue in modern versions of OS X, but in
past you have had to disable unix extensions on the server if UID/GIDs
didn't match up with what the client had. It really sucks that there's not
another workaround, especially for off-domain Macs.

Personally, I've been running netatalk for OS X clients. While it sucks to
have to maintain another service, the OS X SMB driver has always been
pretty awful and the improvement in performance has been well worth the
cost.
