"Access denied" when non-admin tries to create a file on a share

Hello;
I am running Samba4 alpha22 on Gentoo Linux. Recently I did two things:
I upgraded Samba4 from alpha15 to alpha22 (as a clean install, then
copied the 'private' directory into it, etc.), and I rebuilt the
filesystems to be on software RAID.
I have multiple shares created with Samba. They all used to work
perfectly, but now when a non-administrator tries to create a file, the
Windows client tells him, "Access denied." However, the user is able to
*change* any existing file, and delete files.
I don't see any relevant log entry in Samba's logs, with loglevel set to
3. The "Security" tab (and cacls.exe) shows that everything is kosher.
I give the user "Full control", but he still cannot create new files.
To help debug this, I created a brand-new ext4 filesystem on the server,
mounted it with user_xattrs,acl, shared it with Samba4, and as the
domain administrator allowed a non-administrator full access. That
non-administrator is still unable to create new files. So now I am at a
loss.
Please advise.
