The file and directory are owned by DOMAIN+Administrator
I currently have the following in my share :
force user = root

Group is DOMAIN+ADMINS, user DOMAIN+Domain Admins
But, alas, this doesn't help either. Something I probably going totally
wrong down here. =/
I can create files, ownerships are set ok. But I want to use my user
"administrator" to modify ACLs.
So I can 'scopy' my files with apropriate ACLs on my Samba Ext3+ACL share.

But alas, I can only set it from my root account. Sniff .....

So I thought, I'll try to add user DOMAIN+Administrator to the root users.
But, well that didn't work (didn't think it would, but well, wild guesses
never hurt anyone .. except for my users .. hehe)

Help .... it even scared me, level 10 debug.

Seems sometinhg is wrong with nmbd ..... hmm .....
