With samba it is not possible to use the dos archive bit on a
directory. As the archive bit doen't exist in unix file systems it is
maped to one of the execute-bits of a file, compare "map archive" in
smb.conf. But you can't do this with directories because to execute a
directory means to cd into it. And samba has to cd into the
directories independant of the archive bit.
