[Samba] Folder Creation Errors

Hello, Everyone --

How can I create a custom printer form for use on the printers shared
by Samba?  I tried to add a printer form via the "Server Properties"
gizmo from a Win2k Pro client, but I get "Form formname could not be
added.  Operation could not be completed."  When I do an enumforms
<printername> via rpcclient to the Samba server, I get an
NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL.  If I do this against our WinNT 4.0 server
with printers, it gives me the list.  Is there some funky hack I can
use?

This is becoming critical because I NEED to move the printers on this
server to something else (preferably a Samba server) quickly, but I
can't do it if I cannot assign a custom printer form to a tray (i.e.
"letterhead" to the tray which has the letterhead in it).  I have
found solutions to all of my other printing issues with Samba.  I'm
using Samba 2.2.5 with all of the post-2.2.5 patches supplied by
Jerry applied, cups 1.1.14-15, on Red Hat 7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-5.

Second, when creating a new folder on a Samba share from a Windows
2000 client, I get the following message within Windows:

You may not be able to access files created in the folder H:\New
Folder.
Do you want to continue?

This message is harmless; if I go ahead and create the folder, it is
created and can be accessed without issues.  This does not happen on
any of the other shares, just the homes share (referenced via the
user's name, i.e. net use h: \\server\username).  I have disabled
oplocks, as per my smb.conf file below.
