[Samba] No Error When Trying To Delete Protected Files With Windows Explorer

I have a file on a VMS system that I'm accessing using a SAMBA share. When I
delete the file, the icon disappears from the browser window as if it's been
deleted.
 
On the VMS host, the file is still there, and cannot be deleted because it's
protected (no delete privilege). If I then press F5 to refresh the Browser
window, the fie re-appears.
 
A trace of the IP packets show that SAMBA is returning an 'Access Denied'
message, but Windows doesn't seem to see it. Has anyone else come across
this? Is it a known bug with Windows?
 
Rob.
