The LDAP gidNumber in the user entries weren't matching up with existing
groups. I didn't think this would be an issue, since I didn't really
need a group for each user. So some of the files on the server just had
a gid number in the group permissions field instead of a group name, and
an ls -l in a user's home directory would look like this:
total 48

Unfortunately, Samba sort of gagged when it couldn't map the group id
number on the file to an existing group, and wouldn't let the user
change any permissions, even if they owned the file.
