Ok, can you try first by setting: map archive = no in smb.conf on the
server?

If that solves the problem and you need DOS bits I'd suggest you make
sure you have xattrs available on your filesystem and use the following
configuration:

map archive = no
map hidden = no
map read only = no
map system = no
store dos attributes = yes

This will avoid using execute bits to save DOS attributes and instead
will save them in an extended attribute.

Select CifsVfs as product and select enhancement as severity (unless you
think it is a real bug).

Simo.
