problems with winCVS

hi everybody,
we have problems using wincvs with a cvsroot on a samba-server. we
think that the problem is the renaming of files where the cvs user does
not have write-permisson on:
this is our configuration:
fileserver on a irix6.5 running samba 1.9.18p8
having a share on / named 'coder'.
win95 box, running wincvs, setting cvsroot something like
\\cvsserver\coder\projects\cvsroot
problem:
when i do a commit on a file on which i'm not the owner, wincvs reports:
cvs [commit aborted]: cannot rename file
\\cvsserver\projects\cvsroot/src/,test.c, to
\\cvsserver\projects\cvsroot/src/test.c,v: File exists
althought the directory permissions would allow a rename:
(i have userid=tripod, group=coder)
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tripod coder 4607 Feb 19 10:36 ,test.c,
drwxrwxr-x 4 spiff coder 4096 Feb 19 10:36 .
drwxrwxr-x 24 spiff coder 4096 Feb 18 21:53 ..
-r--r--r-- 1 spiff coder 190 Nov 19 21:11 .cvsignore,v
drwxrwxr-x 2 spiff coder 51 Dec 10 11:41 Attic
drwxrwxr-x 2 spiff coder 9 Feb 18 21:33 Debug
-r--r--r-- 1 spiff coder 4456 Nov 19 18:33 test.c,v
(actually the rename action would be a delete/rename).
if i change the owner of the file, it works. if i give write
permission to the 'group' it works, too.
now, the problem is, that the cvs on unix can handle this. i'm not
quite sure, if it's a problem of wincvs or of samba.
however, can i setup samba that it allows renames of files, which i
don't own and where i have no write permission but where i have write
permission on the directory?
tnx in advance,
regards, toby
