This has been reported before. I still don't know why, nor do I have
enough details to reproduce it.

In case someone wants to have a look, these are some of the functions
involved:

fs/smbfs/proc.c:
	smb_init_dirent
	smb_finish_dirent	- clears write if aRONLY is set
	smb_init_root_dirent	- init for the mount point
	smb_proc_getattr	- reads file attributes (different methods 
				  for different servers)

Permissions are based on what the server returns as file attributes, not
on NT access lists. It's not certain that this is a smbfs bug, it may be
something with what NT uses to decide if aRONLY is on or not.
