Here is a possible fix for your situation. I am doing what I think it is you
are trying to do and I have no problems with my samba share. Instead of "force
user", I use "force group" and I just make sure that all the users I want to
have read/write access to all the files on the share are members of that group.
I have included the share from my smb.conf file below for your reference. I
think this will accomplish what you are trying to do and may get around your
problem.
