    We have this problem too, and we sended this message to samba-bug:

Subject:     NT failing when giving permissions
   Date:      Wed, 02 Dec 1998 23:49:17 -0200
   From:     Carlos Henrique <chenriq at homeshopping.com.br>
     To:       "samba-bugs at samba.org.au" <samba-bugs at samba.org.au>

        Hi,
          I readed these mails in samba-ntdom list and I had the same
problem, but with:
        - Sun OS 4.1.4
        - Samba 2 beta 2
        - Win NT Wkst 4SP3 in Portuguese
        - Windows message: 0xc0000005, Address 0x778833aa

        Is it a bug?
        Have you any solution?

        Thank you.
