[Samba] Detecting read/write permissions

Hi
I'm currently using a windows image processing application that
regularly writes the user's image adjustments out to a 'sidecar' file in
the same directory as the original image. When the original file is on a
local disk this works fine but when the original image is on Samba
share, the sidecars are not created.
The application reports the following in its log:
2012-07-14 08:35:56.448 | 5452 - 1 | Sidecar - Warn | Rights to save
file S:\testImage.nef are not sufficient, expected: Write, Delete -
actual: Read, Synchronize
Software versions are as follows:
Client machine (running image processing software): Windows 7 x64
Professional SP1
Server: SuSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2, Samba Version
3.6.3-0.24.4-2794-SUSE-CODE11-x86_64
I have checked that the share I have configured is writeable. The entry
in smb.conf for the share is:
[shared]
comment = Shared Folder
inherit acls = Yes
path = /home/shared
read only = No
My global settings are as follows:
[global]
workgroup = 9Fairways
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
map to guest = Bad User
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
logon drive = P:
domain logons = No
domain master = No
netbios name = server
security = user
usershare allow guests = Yes
usershare max shares = 20
map archive = no
ldap suffix =
passdb backend = smbpasswd
wins support = Yes
The application vendor is telling me that the problem is with Linux but
I wonder if their code my be misreading the file permissions. Is there
anyway I could prove this one way or the other?
If any further information is needed, do let me know.
Best regards
Bruce
