[Samba] Samba 2.2.8a file permissions not working

[CJ Keist]

The ACL is not the issue here, but being able to change the basic  
user,group.other permissions on files/folders.  Right now 2.2.8a seems  
to ignore any permission changes you make from W2K.  In playing around  
some more I find that it will remove permissions, but you cannot add  
permissions.
