Hi Bob, the 'hidden' dot files aren't really hidden, from your path, the 
'.' is 'users' and '..' is 'DOMAIN' :-)

If, as seems, you created the directories as root, you should be good to 
go, I think that it may be a problem with who is trying to set the ACL's 
from windows. this needs to be Administrator, who should be mapped to 
root (yes the user who owns the directory on the member server) via a 
line in smb.conf and a file that the line refers to. i.e. 'username map 
= /etc/samba/user.map' and 'user.map' containing just one line:

'!root = EXAMPLE\Administrator Administrator administrator'
